Abstract
A coated surface on a vehicle body is visually inspected for defective parts and the defective parts found are marked with defect marks. A TV camera searches the coated surface for the defect marks and transfers data on the positions of the defect marks. A sanding robot wet-sands the marked portions of the coated surface of the vehicle body on the basis of the data given the TV camera.
