Optimal Motion Planning on 120° Broken Line Seam for a Mobile Welding Robot

This paper analyses the motion planning of a custom-built all position autonomous mobile welding robot. It proposes a motion planning method that allows the robot to complete 120° broken line seam welding while the vehicle turns simultaneously. It is applied to the welding experiments.
