Portable robotic system for steel H‐beam welding

摘要

Steel beam welding at a construction site is challenging due to the increasing thickness of steel members in today's buildings. In order to achieve high quality welding and resolve the problem caused by the shortage of skilled welders, robotic systems are in high demand. We have proposed a practical robotic system for steel beam welding, specifically designed for working on H‐shaped column structures that are known to be the most difficult structures for automation.
