  • Publication number: 20260048504
    Abstract: One variation of a method for autonomously scanning and processing a part includes: accessing a part model representing a part positioned in a work zone adjacent a robotic system; retrieving a sanding head translation speed; retrieving a toolpath for execution on the part defining positions, orientations, and target forces applied by the sanding head to the part. The method includes traversing the sanding head along the toolpath, at the sanding head translation speed; reading a sequence of applied forces from a force sensor coupled to the sanding head at positions along the toolpath; and deviating from the toolpath to maintain the set of applied forces within a threshold difference of a sequence of target forces along the toolpath. In one variation of the method, the robotic system executes a toolpath at a duration less than target duration by selectively varying target force and sanding head translation speed across the part.

  • Patent number: 12333115
    Abstract: The touch driving integrated circuit (IC) drives the touch sensing electrodes of a touch panel. The touch driving IC sends an uplink signal to an active stylus on the touch panel through the touch panel. The touch driving IC receives a downlink signal from the active stylus through the touch panel. The touch driving IC decodes the downlink signal to obtain posture information about the posture of the active stylus. The touch driving IC reports the posture information of the active stylus together with position information about the position of the active stylus on the touch panel to a system processor.
