Abstract
Problems relating to programming in the robotic welding workcell are discussed. An approach to simplifying programming of multiple manipulators for coordinated motion is presented. This applies to the programming of the welding robot and the workpiece positioner. This approach automates the orientation and positioning of the workpiece and welding torch. Simulation experiments are demonstrated and discussed. Ongoing research on related issues, such as tool and workpiece positioning calibration, is also discussed.
