For automatic identification and positioning of the weld seam by the robot, this paper proposed a weld seam recognition and localization method based on the RealSense depth camera and the improved YOLOv5. Firstly, the original YOLOv5 model is improved by inserting the coordinate attention model and getting the center point of the weld in the pixel plane according to the prediction frame. The actual position of the weld seam is then calculated by combining the depth information acquired by the RealSense depth camera. The test results show that the mAP index of this training model improves from 82.3% to 90.8%, which is significantly better than the model before the improvement. The maximum error is 2.9mm when identifying and positioning the object at a distance of 300mm, and the error percentage is within 2% when identifying and positioning the object at a distance of 0.3m-2m. This method established the relationship between the weld detection object and the robot position, compensating for manually moving the weld tracking sensor to its working range. It is of reference significance for welding robot automation.
