As a traditional fusion welding method, arc welding occupies most of the total welding
production. However, the current industrial welding robots with the “teaching and playback” …

Vision-aided robotic welding has been applied in the industrial field for decades. This paper
summarizes the procedures of vision-aided robotic welding. Various methods in vision …

Due to ever increasing precision and automation demands in robotic welding, the automatic
and robust 3D seam extraction has become a research hot-spot of the welding robots. At …

One of the main difficulties in using robotic welding in low to medium volume manufacturing
or repair work is the time taken to programme the robot to weld a new part. It is often cheaper …

Intelligent robotic welding involves replicating the role of a manual professional welder to
adaptively control the welding process. This is necessary to achieve accurate, fast and high …

Structured light measurement is widely used for weld seam detection owing to its high
measurement precision and robust. However, there is nearly no geometrical deformation of …

In robotic welding, the planning and generation of the motion of the welding torch are crucial
in welding complex joints. This paper presents an approach for optimal robot path planning …

Intelligent robotic welding requires automatic finding of the seam geometrical features in
order for an efficient intelligent control. Performance of the system, therefore, heavily …

Robots are capable of navigating and performing tasks in a wide range of environments.
Yet, there is no systematic research on the relationship between robot and environments. In …

Uneven surface quality usually occurs when grinding welds offline, which results non-
uniform stress and then would damage the workpiece. In this paper, the robotic welding …
