Abstract
This paper covers the research activities carried out in recent years by ALPA laboratory of KAIST for automation of gas metal arc welding processes, and also some industrial applications of welding process automation in Korea. This presentation will show the basic research results of various automation targets such as rotating arc, magnetic arc oscillation, pipe welding and groove welding with acute groove angles. It will also show some examples of welding automation systems implemented in Korean industry such as ship building and automobile industries.
