Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, that provide for welding techniques for manufacturing robots, such multipass welding techniques for welding robots. For example, the welding techniques may enable generation of weld instructions based on a welding fill plan. The instructions may be generated based on a bead model or a table that indicates a wire feed speed, a travel speed, or a voltage. As another example, the techniques may enable generation of weld instructions based on the one or more dimensions of a seam. As another example, the techniques may enable generation of a joint model of a cross-section of a seam to be welded. The joint model may be generated based on a combination of a plurality of feature components to generate the joint model of the seam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
