Cohesive Robotics releases Smart Welding Robotic Workcell - The Robot Report

Cohesive Robotics Inc. has launched the Smart Welding Robotic Workcell, an AI-driven automation solution aimed at enhancing manufacturing productivity by addressing fabrication bottlenecks, improving accuracy, and increasing production capacity. The workcell leverages the company's proprietary Argus OS software, which uses 3D scanning and artificial intelligence to automatically identify parts and program industrial and collaborative robots for various welding processes—including MIG, TIG, and laser welding—without the need for traditional programming or manual guidance. This system simplifies fixturing, supports batch processing of different part SKUs, and integrates collision checking and motion planning to optimize welding tasks. Designed for high-mix, high-variability production environments, the Smart Welding Robotic Workcell features automatic vision-based detection for weld joints, compatibility with both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and a submillimeter-accurate 3D camera. It also includes an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI) mobile station for ease of operation. Cohesive
