Applications of paints and coatings can be greatly enhanced by using robotic spray-
ing. Benefits include increased application rates with tighter control over coating fin-
ish, quality, and costs. The use of robotics 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 teleop-
eration. This paper describes a measurement system consisting of an inspection
sensor and automated path planner for automated robot inspection of painted sur-
faces. The inspection sensor includes ultrasonic and eddy current components con-
figured in a mechanism providing both compliant force and compliant motion.
