Autonomous Navigation and Positioning of a Real-Time and Automated Mobile Robotic Welding System

Doyun Lee et al.
In the US, the construction industry uses 40 million tons of steel annually, highlighting welding's crucial role in safety and quality. However, problems with attracting young welders and addressing quality issues leading to rework persist. These issues underscore the necessity of developing an automated welding robot that can provide consistent quality welding. This paper presents a novel concept for a mobile robotic welding system by outlining a comprehensive system pipeline. This robot has an
