A Framework for CAD- and Sensor-Based Robotic Coating Automation

Abstract
Coating automation of a complex product family with changes and uncertainties is investigated. A CAD- and scanner-based robotic coating system is proposed. Its software system consists of a data-processing system and automatic programming and simulation system. The data processing system is capable of generating accurate surface model from points-cloud and/or as-designed CAD model. The automatic programming and simulation system is capable of creating robot programs based on the surface models. In this paper, the system framework and the methodology for generating robot programs are focused
