Titel
Programming and navigation of a mobile welding robot
Abstract
Tis paper describes the programming and navigation features of the mobile climbing robot MoRoMAG which has been developed for welding of ship sections and large gas vessels. For seam tracking the robot can be equipped with either a laserscanner, an arc sensor or an inductive sensor. Navigation tasks are solved by dead reckoning navigation and laser beam guidance. The user friendly programming of the robot facilitates the teaching-in of large numer of welding parameters required by automated welding. By using mobile climbing robots an increase of productivity can be expected. The application of MoRoMAG in other manufacturing processes is the subject of current research.
