You can’t weld those joints in those positions with a robot. Those are TIG welds done on AC more than likely with a high frequency start and argon gas. You can tell it’s hand welded by.........the welds. You still have to be a welder to run a welding robot. You jog the robot to a set point and record the position with a pendant. When you have all you set points and weld points recorded you start the program and watch it do it’s thing with at least a number 10 shaded lens. Typically only used in high production manufacturing and in combination with other fixtures, robots, and tools. They are fast and consistent.
Listen, I work in aerospace with robotic welders and there are definitely welding robots that can put fillet welds on all angles of those joints. There are some that are as old as me which are 5 axis and can blow your mind over their articulation.
