A method of generating a path for processing a physical profile of a part with a tool is provided. The physical profile has a shape. The method comprises identifying a processing location on the physical profile of the part. The processing location is within an inspection region. The method also comprises identifying an inspection-region location based on the processing location. An inspection region is geometrically associated with the inspection-region location. The method additionally comprises identifying a processing location on the physical profile of the part. The processing location is within the inspection region. The method also comprises generating at least a portion of the path based on the processing location and the processing location.

A filling method capable of reducing medicinal liquid loss, comprising weighing stations and a liquid-dividing container. The liquid-dividing container is provided with liquid outlets; filling needles arranged side by side are correspondingly arranged above the plurality of weighing stations; the respective liquid outlets and the respective filling needles are connected by means of pipelines; and the respective pipelines are each provided with a filling pump. The filling method comprises: upon detecting that the amount of medicinal liquid in the liquid-dividing container is insufficient, conveying medicine bottles to the weighing stations, filling the medicine bottles by the first filling needle, and then performing liquid supplementation filling by the adjacent second filling needle or by the third filling needle until the filling amount of the medicinal liquid in the medicine bottles is qualified, thus respectively filling the medicine bottles one by one, and emptying the remaining medicinal liquid in the pipelines.
