Systems and processes for finishing a surface utilizing an unmanned aerial vehicle

A surface finishing system process, comprising the steps of:

• hovering a finisher coupled to a surface finisher at a desired height and a desired angle above a surface leveling a surface material on the surface with the surface finisher;
• smoothing the surface material on the leveled surface;
• edging a perimeter of the smoothed surface;
• and
• texturing the edged perimeter.

A system for finishing a surface utilizing a surface finisher, comprising:

• a body including a connector attached to a bottom portion;
• a finisher coupled to the connector, wherein the finisher extends to the surface;
• a first sensor for determining a distance and an angle of the finisher above the surface,
• a second sensor for determining a speed of the surface finisher while traversing across a grid imaged on the surface;
• and
• a controller in communication with the first and second sensors for instructing the surface finisher to finish the surface based on the information determined by the first and second sensors.
