System and method for robotic inspection

An inspection system for robotic inspection of a part, comprising:

• a robot mechanism configured to support the part, the robot mechanism being moveable to adjust position and pose of the part;
• a sensor positioned to obtain part-related sensor input of the part supported by the robot mechanism;
• a feedback control unit in communication with the sensor to receive the part-related sensor input to produce an initial inspection result, the feedback control unit being configured to control movement of the robot mechanism based on the initial inspection result produced from the part-related sensor input to position the robot mechanism at an adjusted position relative to the sensor;
• and
• an illumination mechanism for illuminating the part, and wherein the feedback control unit is configured to control the illumination mechanism based on the initial inspection result produced from the part-related sensor input to provide an adjusted lighting of the part, and wherein the feedback control unit is further configured to obtain further part-related sensor input from the sensor at the adjusted position and the adjusted lighting.
