Investigation on the Process Parameters of an Automated Wall Grinding Robotic System

This paper presents the design of a three degrees-of-freedom planar, parallel robot, based on the cable-driven parallel mechanism design and commercially available scaffolding structures with trolley wheels to create a reconfigurable wall polishing/grinding robotic system. This is followed by the investigation of the key grinding process parameters, through the use of Design-of experiments to identify relevant and dominant parameters that are suitable for automated wall grinding.
