Abstract

Real-time seam tracking for welding operations is described as implemented in a distributed operating environment for complex robotic systems. The architecture of the designed environment is described, in the context of its data-centric nature and real-time performance. Dynamic seam tracking is described as a technique that provides real-time control of the torch pose with respect to the workpiece, as well as the pose of a 6 dof-part holder. This is demonstrated by meeting the criteria of a constant weld pool angle and stationary tool robot.
