A finishing apparatus (10, 100) for performing an automated finishing operation on a surface (132, 162) of a workpiece (134, 164) is disclosed. The finishing apparatus includes a platen (12, 102) fabricated from a magnetic material and having a platen surface (22, 108), and a finishing module (18, 20) disposed on the platen surface and having a finishing operation end effector (36, 82). The finishing module generates a magnetic field that biases the finishing module toward the platen, and is operable to generate a magnetic flux to control movement of the finishing module over the platen surface to perform the automated finishing operation on the surface of the workpiece. (Fig. 1)
