The study deals with automation of polishing process by using an industrial
robot. In polishing process, judgment whether polishing is sufficient or
not has been performed by skilled workers. In the previous research,
generation of robot program for polishing operation using CAD/CAM was
already proposed. In this report, we propose automatic judgment of polished
surface quality based on image processing. A robot performs polishing
operation using both a personal computer and signal communication.
As a result, the developed system allows us the automatic polishing that
includes surface quality judgment.
