Programming a Robot for Conformance Grinding of Complex Shapes by Capturing the Tacit Knowledge of a Skilled Operator

This paper describes a novel methodology to reduce the effort in automating manual surface finishing processes by bridging the knowledge transfer gap of the manual operator's skills to a robot program. Key process variables (KPVs), i.e., contact force, tool path, and feed rate, of the manual op...
