Abstract: In various examples, a computer-implemented method of generating instructions for a welding robot. The computer-implemented method comprises identifying an expected position of a candidate seam on a part to be welded based on a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of the part, scanning a workspace containing the part to produce a representation of the part, identifying the candidate seam on the part based on the representation of the part and the expected position of the candidate seam, determining an actual position of the candidate seam, and generating welding instructions for the welding robot based at least in part on the actual position of the candidate seam.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a tool center point (TCP) of a robotic welding system. The method includes receiving a plurality of images captured from a plurality of image sensors of the robotic welding system, the plurality of images containing at least a portion of a protrusion extending from a tip of a weldhead of the robotic welding system, and identifying by a controller of the robotic welding system the protrusion extending from the weldhead in the plurality of images. The method additionally includes defining by the controller a longitudinal axis of the protrusion based on the protrusion identified in the plurality of images, and identifying by the controller a location in three-dimensional (3D) space of the weldhead based on the protrusion identified in the plurality of images and the defined longitudinal axis of the protrusion.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, which provide for welding techniques for manufacturing robots, such as seam localization, gap measurement, or both. For example, the welding techniques may include, during illumination of one or more objects by a light source, controlling a camera to capture images of the one or more objects along at least a portion of a length of a seam formed by the one or more objects. The techniques further include differentiating, in the images, the seam from the one or more objects. In a first aspect, the techniques also include triangulating the differentiated seam to identify a position of the seam relative to a reference point. In a second aspect, the techniques also include determining, based on the differentiated seam, gap information along a portion of the seam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: In some examples, an autonomous robotic welding system comprises a workspace including a part having a seam, a sensor configured to capture multiple images within the workspace, a robot configured to lay weld along the seam, and a controller. The controller is configured to identify the seam on the part in the workspace based on the multiple images, plan a path for the robot to follow when welding the seam, the path including multiple different configurations of the robot, and instruct the robot to weld the seam according to the planned path.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for operation of an assembly robotic system. In one aspect of the disclosure, the assembly robotic system includes a tool coupled to a robot device and configured to be selectively coupled to a first object. The assembly robotic system also includes a welding tool, one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the tool to couple the tool to the first object based on the sensor data, control the robot device to bring the first object into a spatial relationship with a second object, and generate a weld instruction to cause the weld tool to weld a seam formed between the first and second objects. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
