In the introductory part of the paper we are discussing in general mechanized, robotic and automated welding systems, what they are used for, what are the advantages and disadvantages compared to manual welding. Also, the welding procedures that are most often automated and robotized are described and enumerated. In the further part we discuss the history of robots from idea to full development. The division of industrial robots to the type of motion and the method of motion control is described and explained. Further, the robot station and the role of the components of which it is composed are then described. Robots perform welding, and to do it properly they need to be programmed. Therefore, the ways of programming robots with three different methods (on-line, off-line and hybrid programming method) will be described in detail. In the practical part of the paper, the sequence of production and control activities during the production of the presenting will be described. As the main and most interesting part of this paper, the programming and development of a robotic welding simulation for a selected presenter will be described.
