Bladed tools such as jigsaws are common tools for wood workers on job-sites and in workshops, but do not currently have sufficient autonomous hardware or path planning algorithms to enable automation. Here we present a system of an autonomous robot and a path planning algorithm for automating jigsaw operations. The robot can drill holes, insert the jigsaw, and cut plywood. Our algorithm converts c...
