Abstract: Automated systems and methods of using a tape applicator mounted on a robot arm to apply a tape onto an object surface are provided. The tape applicator, which is instructed by a controller, can automatically follow a real-time-updated tape coverage path on the object surface to optimize the tape application while the tape applicator moves along the object surface. The tape applicator can also create tabs in real time.

Abstract: A robotic system is presented that includes a surface inspection system that receives a plurality of sampled points within a region of a worksurface. The system also includes a robotic arm, coupled to a surface processing tool, the robotic repair arm being configured to cause the surface processing tool to engage the region of the worksurface. The system also includes a process mapping system configured to, based on the plurality of sampled points: approximate a surface topography of the region of the worksurface, modify a trajectory for the robotic arm, based on the approximated surface topography, and generate a control signal for the robotic arm that includes a path for the robotic arm into the region.

Abstract: A robotic system is presented that includes a surface inspection system that receives sampling information for a number of areas within a region of a worksurface. The system also includes a robotic arm, coupled to a surface engaging tool, the robotic repair arm being configured to cause the surface processing tool to engage the region of the worksurface. The system also includes a process mapping system configured to, based on the sampling information: approximate a surface topography in the region of the worksurface, generate a surface processing plan for the region based on the approximated surface topography that includes a trajectory. The surface processing plan includes one of: a force profile along the trajectory, a velocity profile for the surface engaging tool along the trajectory, a rotational speed profile, for the surface engaging tool, along the trajectory, or a trajectory modification that accounts for the presence of a surface feature identified in the approximated surface topography. The process mapping system is also configured to generate a control signal for the robotic arm that includes the surface processing plan.

Abstract: A robotic abrading system that includes a robotic tool coupled to a robotic arm. The robotic arm is configured to move the robotic tool into an abrading position with respect to a workpiece. The system also includes a backup pad coupled to the robotic tool. The system also includes a polishing pad coupled to the backup tool. The backup pad or the polishing pad include a heat accumulation reduction mechanism that passively reduces heat accumulation within the backup pad during successive polishing operations.
