Abstract
A new Remote Robotic Welding System (RRWS) with a number of intelligent sensors and based on the control strategy of "macroscopic teleoperation, microscopic autonomous", was investigated. By analyzing the remote robotic welding process, it is found that the cooperation and coordination of all subsystem and operator are the key technology and the guarantee of RRWS's practical application. And then multi-agent based modeling and control of RRWS were studied because that the multi-agent thinking is very suitable to the characteristics of RRWS. By this means, the separate advantages of human and machines separately were utilized fully. Lastly, the results demonstrated that the RRWS can be applied in practice efficiently, reliable and precisely by modeling and control using multi-agent technology.
