Wireless Teaching Pendant for Mobile Welding Robot in Shipyard
نویسندگان
چکیده
The teach pendant is a hand-held robot control terminal that provides a convenient means to move the robot, teach locations, and run robot programs. Nowadays, almost teaching pendant is connected with a robot controller using cable. The cable connection and the size of teaching pendant are not problems because a robot controller is separated with robot. However, a large size and wired teaching pendant is not suitable for a self-deriving mobile welding robot which has a controller inside.In this paper, using a personal data assistant, the wireless teaching pendant is developed for the mobile welding robot which can weld and move autonomously in the double hull structure of the ship. We also verify the functions and performance of wireless teaching pendant from the experiments.

Environment Modeling for Autonomous Welding Robots
Automation of welding process in shipyard is ultimately necessary, since welding site is spatially enclosed by floors and girders, and therefore welding operators are exposed to hostile working conditions. To solve this problem, a welding robot that can navigate autonomously within the enclosure needs to be developed. To achieve the welding task, the robotic welding system needs a sensor system...
