Abstract:
An automated sanding system that includes a robotic arm and a sanding end effector coupled at the distal end of the robotic arm, with the sanding end effector configured to sand a target surface. The system can further include a computing device executing a computational planner that generates instructions for driving the sanding end effector and robotic arm to perform at least one sanding task that at least includes the sanding end effector sanding a target surface, the generating based at least in part on obtained target surface data; and drives the end effector and robotic arm to perform the at least one sanding task.

Claim (Index 6):
An automated drywalling system comprising:\n a base unit; an elongated robotic arm that extends between a base end and a distal end, the robotic arm coupled to the base unit at the base end of the robotic arm; a sanding end effector coupled at the distal end of the robotic arm, the sanding end effector configured to sand joint compound on a target surface; one or more vision systems; and a computing device executing a computational planner that:\n obtains target surface data from the one or more vision systems, the target surface data including information regarding a configuration of a wall assembly including a plurality of drywall pieces disposed on the wall assembly forming one or more joints between respective drywall pieces having joint compound applied thereon; \n automatically generates instructions for driving the sanding end effector, robotic arm, and base unit to perform at least one sanding task that includes the sanding end effector at least sanding the applied joint compound associated with the one or more joints between the respective drywall pieces, the generating based at least in part on the target surface data; and \n automatically drives the end effector, robotic arm, and base unit to perform the at least one sanding task.
