The primary aim of this volume is to provide researchers and engineers from both academic and
industry with up-to-date coverage of new results in the field of robotic welding intelligent
systems and automation. The book is mainly based on papers selected from the 2014 International
Conference on Robotic Welding Intelligence and Automation (RWIA'2014) held Oct. 25-27 2014
at Shanghai China. The articles show that the intelligentized welding manufacturing (IWM) is
becoming an inevitable trend with the intelligentized robotic welding as the key technology.
The volume is divided into four logical parts: Intelligent Techniques for Robotic Welding
Sensing of Arc Welding Processing Modeling and Intelligent Control of Welding Processing as
well as Intelligent Control and its Applications in Engineering.
