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: 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, that provide for welding techniques for manufacturing robots, such multipass welding techniques for welding robots. For example, the welding techniques may enable generation of weld instructions based on a welding fill plan. The instructions may be generated based on a bead model or a table that indicates a wire feed speed, a travel speed, or a voltage. As another example, the techniques may enable generation of weld instructions based on the one or more dimensions of a seam. As another example, the techniques may enable generation of a joint model of a cross-section of a seam to be welded. The joint model may be generated based on a combination of a plurality of feature components to generate the joint model of the seam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for operation of an assembly robotic system. In one aspect, the assembly robotic system performs at least one of a first or second scan operation. In the first scan operation, one or more scan poses is selected from among a plurality of generated candidate poses. For each scan pose of the one or more scan poses, the controller initiates a scan operation associated with a region identified to include a seam associated with a feature of the object. As part of the second scan operation, for each candidate scan pose, a scan operation is simulated. Based on the generated simulated scan data, multiple scan poses are selected and a scan trajectory is generated for a scan operation. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
