Abstract—Robotic welding techniques are a hotspot in the field of robotic welding. It has the characteristics of good environmental adaptability, wide spatial distribution, free cooperation, better system redundancy and robustness. In this paper, the research progress of multi-robotic welding techniques are reviewed, including weld seam tracking technology, remote welding technology, off-line programming and simulation technology, multi-robot cooperative welding technology. The technical problems are pointed out and the future development trend is prospected. 

Index Terms—welding, weld seam tracking, remote welding, off-line programming, multi-robot welding, review
