Abstract
Impediments to robot usage in manufacturing settings that arise from position-oriented control are identified. Process methods that leverage compliant robot control together with CAD model data and strategy based programming are shown to help overcome these impediments. The techniques are shown in the context of automating finish grinding of cast turbine blades.
