The conceptual model is based on research within the field which covers supporting tools like robot simulation, sensor modelling and handling and optimization issues with respect to the robot task execution. A descriptive structure and concept is outlined to include welding procedure specifications (WPS) as a key module to provide an integrated and holistic control model of the robotic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>Finds that the outlined conceptual model and architecture supports an increased flexibility of sensor controlled robots for arc welding applications.
