Deep-Dive: Neural Computer Vision and Adaptive Arc Welding in Autonomous Steel Manufacturing
Automating heavy steel welding presents extreme physical challenges due to thermal expansion and minor tolerance variations in raw steel plates. The robotic factory solves this by integrating high-frame-rate structured 3D light sensors onto 6-axis industrial robot end-effectors.
