Abstract

One variation of a method includes: accessing a maximum deflection distance of a workpiece; defining a first workpiece region characterized by a first compliance range; defining a second workpiece region characterized by a second compliance range greater than the first compliance range; assigning a nominal target force to the workpiece; navigating a sanding head across the first workpiece region during a processing cycle; driving the sanding head below a virtual unloaded surface of the workpiece stored in the virtual model to maintain forces, of the sanding head on the first workpiece region, approximating the nominal target force; calculating a maximum offset between the positions of the sanding head in the first workpiece region and the virtual unloaded surface; and, in response to the first maximum offset approaching the maximum deflection distance, assigning a lower target force to the second workpiece region of the workpiece.
