Robotic control for tool sharpening

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which when executed by one or more processors result in performing operations comprising:

• scanning, by one or more processors, a container comprising one or more cutting tools;
• tracking defects of the one or more cutting tools;
• determining a location associated with a cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools relative to the container;
• causing a robotic device to grip the cutting tool based on the location of the cutting tool relative to the container;
• associating a user with at least one cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools;
• incorporating a user-rating system based on longevity and defect rejection rates of the at least one cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools;
• causing to move the robotic device to place the cutting tool in proximity of one or more scanning sensors and a set of grinding stones;
• collecting three dimensional data from the one or more scanning sensors, wherein the three dimensional data represents a geometry of the cutting tool;
• extracting a profile of the cutting tool based on the collected three dimensional data;
• determining, by one or more force-torque sensors, an amount of force to be applied to the cutting tool;
• and
• generating a sharpening path based on a tip and the profile of the cutting tool.

A device, the device for sharpening a cutting tool using a robotic device, wherein the device comprises processing circuitry coupled to storage, the processing circuitry configured to:

• scan, by one or more processors, a container comprising one or more cutting tools;
• track defects of the one or more cutting tools;
• determine a location associated with a cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools relative to the container;
• cause a robotic device to grip the cutting tool based on the location of the cutting tool relative to the container;
• associating a user with at least one cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools;
• incorporate a user-rating system based on longevity and defect rejection rates of the at least one cutting tool of the one or more cutting tools;
• cause to move the robotic device to place the cutting tool in proximity of one or more scanning sensors and a set of grinding stones;

• extract a profile of the cutting tool based on the collected three dimensional data;
• determine, by one or more force-torque sensors, an amount of force to be applied to the cutting tool;
• and
• generate a sharpening path based on a tip and the profile of the cutting tool.
