Welding is a complex process which its quality had depended mainly on the operator's experience. However, faster computers have enabled real-time monitoring and qualitative analysis of the welding process based on neural networks. Here we demonstrate an autonomous welding CPS (Cyber Physical System) which observes, analyzes, and feedbacks optimal welding condition in real-time.
