Abstract: This paper presents some concepts on intelligentized welding manufacturing, such as the ideas of intelligentized welding manufacturing technology/sytems(IWMT/S), intelligentized robotic wleding technology/sytems(IRWT/S) and intelligentized welding manufacturing engineering (IWME), and investigates the framework and constitution of technologies and systems for intelligentized welding manufacturing. Furthermore, the paper also shows some new evolutions of research works in the IRWTL at SJTU on intelligentized welding manufacturing, which includes multi-information sensing and knowledge modeling of arc welding process; intelligent control methodology for welding dynamic process; intelligentized technologies for robotic welding and intelligentized autonomous welding robot system for the special environment. The author wishes to present a systematization of intending research framework and constitution on the IWMT/S in this paper. Some studies on intelligentized welding presented in this paper might introduce related essential research directions or fields of intelligentized technologies for modern welding manufacturing.
