Review of robotic control strategies for industrial finishing operations

Good quality of surface finishing requires accurate control of tool positioning, as well as of contact forces. Various position and force control strategies have been applied to robotized finishing processes in industries. This paper reviews the control strategies applicable to robotic finishing operations, highlighting the benefits and limitations. Finally, adaptive force/impedance control architecture and its potential implementation on new generation compliant robots are briefed.
