Abstract: In the welding processes of large dimension subassemblies, an advanced mechanism is necessary in order the welding stitch not be interrupted during the change of the operator’s position. A tracking model has been designed and tested, for a simple welding path using a mini robot, which can be controlled via mobile phone.

Keywords: robot, Arduino, path, testing, validation.
