Abstract: A robotic paint repair system is disclosed. The system optionally including a robotic arm, a first tool system and a fluid removal tool. The first tool system can comprise a first end effector coupled to a first tool configured to contact a workpiece to perform surface modification of the workpiece. The first end effector can be configured to actuate the first tool about a first axis to perform the surface modification of the workpiece. The fluid removal tool can comprise a wiping medium. The fluid removal tool can be coupled to the robot arm. The fluid removal tool can be configured to actuate the wiping medium about or along a second axis to remove fluid from the workpiece. The first axis can be offset from the second axis and the first axis can be within 45 degrees of parallel with the second axis.
