The visual path–following technology is widely used in cutting, laser welding, painting,
gluing, and other fields, which is a crucial content of robotics studies. As an important …

A novel approach to generic (or generalized) robot programming and a novel simplified,
block-based programming environment, called “Assembly”, are introduced. The approach …

In this paper, a novel approach for an ontological representation of continuous-path
manufacturing tasks is presented on the example of robotic fillet welding. The representation …

Due to safety and security concerns, industrial human-machine interfaces (HMIs) cannot be
updated as frequently and easily as other software. This leads to an innovation gap in …

Robotic welding automation allows manufacturers to increase quality, flexibility and reduce
