Sensing Technology for Intelligentized Robotic Welding in Arc Welding Processes

As more and more extensive application of welding robot, intelligentized robotic welding technology will become the main development trend. This paper introduces some sensing technique of research works about welding robot, such as computer vision sensing technology, arc sensing technology, arc sound sensing technology and welding arc spectral technology. All of which will attempted to address some key problem and provide the scientific basis and the technology realistic way for welding quality controlling in robotic welding intellectualization.
