A laser would be helpful in that it (just thinking outloud) may be more precise. For example, say you have a piece of aluminum and it has a pit here and there. The pit may .2mm in diameter and .5mm deep. The sanding head will need to sand either all of the material away to remove the pit or create a blend to a non-pitted surrounding surface.
What you are describing is a full scan to map the surface of the object that would then be acted on intelligently by an algorithm to drive selected remedial corrections which "should" give a corrected result. However, constantly modifying the "map" real time would be intensive. Resolution of the scan is a determinant factor.

It's a bit different than programming to take off material overall to a certain depth.
