Welding is becoming increasingly unacceptable as a manual job and this is causing an acceleration in the trend towards automation. This paper briefly reviews some recent efforts at automating welding processes, including a program in the UK by the National Engineering Laboratory and the Welding Institute, and considers the future progress and effects of automation in this field.
