Abstract: A unique automated surface inspection process. Other embodiments include apparatuses, systems, devices, hardware, methods, and combinations for an automated surface inspection process including fuzzy logic analysis. The positioning system operates with a part presentation technique based on an algorithm for manipulating part in an efficient manner with minimum hunting for part surfaces and anomalies. Embodiments of positioning system can include a robotic part manipulator with a discussion of further details to follow. The positioning system utilizes illumination and imaging components to identify the type of part being inspected. Illumination can be, for example, supplied for reflection detection or shadow detection. An imaging component can be, for example, a camera capable of reproducing the image, a photo sensor capable of detecting illumination.
