Embodiment approach

[0057] As previously discussed herein, intelligent agents can be employed to provide feedback to a student on areas where the student needs more practice, or to provide feedback to the instructor or instructor on how to modify the instructional curriculum to improve the student's learning. In artificial intelligence, an intelligent agent is an autonomous entity, usually implemented in software, that observes and acts on the environment and directs its actions toward a goal to be achieved. An intelligent agent is able to learn and use knowledge to achieve a goal (eg, the goal of providing relevant feedback to welding students or welding instructors). According to embodiments of the present invention, for example, the environment perceived and acted upon by the intelligent agent is a virtual reality environment generated by the VRAW system.

[0058] Also, various interactive inspection tools may be used on the virtual weldment before being tested or on the virtual weldment after...

Abstract

Arc welding simulations that provide simulation of virtual destructive and non destructive testing and inspection of virtual weldments for training purposes. The virtual testing simulations may be performed on virtual weldments created using a virtual reality welding simulator system (e.g., a virtual reality arc welding (VRAW) system). The virtual inspection simulations may be performed on pre-canned (i.e. pre-defined) virtual weldments or using virtual weldments created using a virtual reality welding simulator system. In general, virtual testing may be performed using a virtual reality welding simulator system (e.g., a virtual reality arc welding (VRAW) system), and virtual inspection may be performed using a standalone virtual weldment inspection (VWI) system or using a virtual reality welding simulator system (e.g., a virtual reality arc welding (VRAW) system).; However, in accordance with certain enhanced embodiments of the present invention, virtual testing may also be performed on a standalone VWI system.

Description

[0001] This U.S. patent application claims priority to, and is a continuation-in-part (CIP) of, pending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 501,257, filed July 10, 2009, which is The patent application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. This US patent application also claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 349,029, filed May 27, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] Particular embodiments relate to virtual reality simulations. More specifically, certain embodiments relate to systems and methods for virtual testing and inspection of virtual weldments for the training of welders, welding inspectors, welding instructors, structural engineers, and materials engineers. Background technique [0003] In real-world welding and training, weldments may be subjected to destructive and / or non-destructive testing. Such tests help determine the quality of the weldment, and thus the welder...
