APPLICATIONS OF PAINTS AND COATINGS CAN BE GREATLY ENHANCED BY USING ROBOTIC SPRAYING. BENEFITS INCLUDE INCREASED APPLICATION RATES WITH TIGHTER CONTROL OVER COATING FINISH, QUALITY, AND COSTS. THE USE OF ROBOTIC CAN REDUCE HUMAN EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND DANGEROUS SPRAY ENVIRONMENTS. SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT OF A ROBOTIC SYSTEM REQUIRES PROCESS FEEDBACK, AUTOMATED TASK AND PATH PLANNING, AND TELEOPERATION. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM CONSISTING OF AN INSPECTION SENSOR AND AUTOMATED PATH PLANNER FOR AUTOMATED ROBOT INSPECTION OF PAINTED SURFACES.
