ABSTRACT

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer
programs encoded on computer storage media, for operation of an assembly
robotic system. In one aspect of the disclosure, the assembly robotic system
includes a tool coupled to a robot device and configured to be selectively
coupled to a first object. The assembly robotic system also includes a welding
tool, one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data, and a
controller. The controller is configured to control the tool to couple the
tool to the first object based on the sensor data, control the robot device to
bring the first object into a spatial relationship with a second object, and
generate a weld instruction to cause the weld tool to weld a seam formed
between the first and second objects. Other aspects and features are also
claimed and described.
