1. A robotic processing system, comprising:

  • a microprocessor-controlled workpiece processor including a mobile processing element to be positioned independently in three orthogonal dimensions with respect to each of a plurality of target locations on a workpiece, with each particular target location of said plurality of target locations including an element to be processed, said mobile processing element processing said element at each particular target location by first moving to an initial location that is offset from said particular target location in a single dimension and then second moving along said single dimension towards said element at said particular target location until a contact signal is detected; and

    a controller, coupled to said workpiece and to said mobile processing element, communicating said contact signal to said workpiece processor when said processing element makes a physical contact with said element at said particular target location.
