Abstract

Automatic methods and robotic system for processing workpieces are provided. A method for locally re-shaping a moldable workpiece includes receiving data in an input module indicating a present form of the workpiece; providing a robot configured to pass the workpiece through a machine; determining, with a control module, a path of the robot based on the present form of the workpiece and a target form of the workpiece; and performing a finishing process by passing, with the robot, the workpiece through the machine along the path, wherein the machine re-shapes the workpiece with the target form.
