*Further Information*
*With the development of industrial manufacturing, the demand for high-precision grinding and polishing of complex curved surface workpieces is increasing. Robotic intelligent manufacturing has emerged as a promising technological solution to overcome these processing challenges. This study systematically examines the research background and industrial significance of complex surface manufacturing, with particular emphasis on its critical applications in aerospace components and automotive production systems. The basic methods of forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, dynamics modeling of polishing robots, and the identification of their model parameters are introduced. Path planning methods are categorized into those driven by ideal CAD models and those based on point cloud reconstruction, with their respective advantages and disadvantages analyzed. Trajectory planning for robotic grinding and polishing is elaborated upon from basic trajectory planning to optimal trajectory planning. The passive and active compliance control (impedance control, force/position hybrid control, adaptive control, and intelligent control) in robotic force control technology is summarized. The influences of main process parameters such as grinding and polishing force, feed rate, tool rotational speed, and grinding tool parameters on material removal depth are analyzed, and some optimization methods of process parameters are introduced. Finally, the research content and future work are summarized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]*
