Storyboard
What the video shows
The storyboard shows a compliant polishing head working across the curved surface of a vehicle spoiler while the robot maintains steady contact.
-
Step 1
Prepare the workcell, fixture, part, or target surface shown in the storyboard frames.
-
Step 2
Locate and align the robot or tool for polishing.
-
Step 3
Execute the task with compliant tooling and monitored robot motion.
-
Step 4
Confirm the placement, contact path, inspection result, or finished surface before repeating the cycle.
Challenge
Why this task is difficult
Vehicle Spoiler Polishing requires repeatable execution in automotive and mobility, where alignment, controlled contact, and process consistency can be difficult to maintain manually.
Value
Operational value
The demonstration focuses on force-controlled surface finishing where finish quality depends on uniform pressure across complex automotive geometry.
Deployment layer
How Robita AI helps
Robita AI turns this kind of Flexiv demonstration into a deployment plan: we assess the manual workflow, define the tooling and fixture assumptions, validate the robot capability, and map the pilot path from first test to production rollout. For automotive and mobility applications, that means connecting the visible robot motion to practical questions like cycle time, safety, operator handoff, data capture, and integration with the existing workstation.
Complexity reduction
How Flexiv force control reduces complexity
Flexiv force control lets the robot adapt during contact instead of relying only on exact position commands. That reduces the need for heavy custom mechanics, perfectly rigid fixtures, and long exception programming because the robot can feel insertion, pressure, and surface contact while it works.
