Problems solved by technology

However, such equipment requires significant human intervention in terms of the need for manual adjustment and / or checking of parameters such as angles, stability, vibrations, etc. before and during operation, and is therefore still far from desired automation levels in the gemstone industry far away
This problem is further exacerbated by lack of precision due to assembly errors in the equipment, mechanical deformation in use, etc.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a fully automatic gemstone polishing robot. An aspect of the present disclosure provides an automatic gemstone polishing robot comprising: a gemstone polishing unit, comprising a gemstone holding unit for supporting a gemstone in contact with an abrasive surface, and configured to polish said gemstone in a plurality of iterations based on a feedback signal; an imagecapturing unit to capture, in one or more of the plurality of iterations, at least one image of the gemstone; and an image processing unit, which when executed by one or more processors, analyzes said at least one image of the gemstone with respect to one or a plurality of gemstone parameters, wherein the image processing unit is further configured to compare the one or a plurality of analyzed gemstone parameters with one or a plurality of pre-determined gemstone parameters to generate the feedback signal to be transmitted to the gemstone polishing unit. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method of polishing a gemstone utilizing the automatic gemstone polishing robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of gemstone polishing. In particular, the present disclosure provides a fully automated gem polishing robot. Background technique [0002] The Background Description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. No admission is made that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. [0003] Gemstones such as diamonds or turquoise need to be cut and polished to be placed in jewelry. The most precious gemstone, diamond, is a colorless mineral composed of carbon crystallized into octahedrons, dodecahedrons and cubes in an equiaxed crystal system. Producing a one-carat polished diamond requires moving about two hundred and fifty tons of land. An average of 3.5 carats of rough diamonds are required to produce a 1 carat polished diamond. ...
