Grinding materials into a fine powder is a time-consuming task in material science that is generally performed by hand, as current automated grinding machines might not be suitable for preparing small-sized samples. This study presents a robotic powder grinding system for laboratory automation in material science applications that observe the powder's state to improve the grinding outcome. We deve...
