Abstract

Disclosed example robotic welding systems include: a robotic manipulator configured to manipulate a welding torch; and a robot control system, comprising: a processor; and a machine readable storage medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to, during a robotic welding procedure involving the robotic manipulator: prior to initiating an arc as part of the robotic welding procedure, identify an arc warning event; in response to the arc warning event, output at least one of a visual notification or an audible notification proximate to the robotic manipulator; and control the robotic manipulator to perform the robotic welding procedure involving initiating the arc using the welding torch.
