(4) The electromagnet (B31) connected to the assembly robot (B) grabs the workpiece to be welded and the positioned and clamped base material to be welded for assembly; the projector (A12) projects multiple images with different feature information onto the surface of the workpiece to be welded, and uses the binocular camera (A11) that has been calibrated with the hand and eye to collect images of the projected surface of the workpiece to be welded respectively, extracts the feature information of the projection pattern through the image processing algorithm, and calculates the three-dimensional normal vector and three-dimensional coordinates of the projected surface in the camera coordinate system; finally, the spatial position information in the camera coordinate system is converted to the coordinate system of the base material to be welded, and compared with the standard normal vector and three-dimensional coordinates of the measured surface of the workpiece to be welded. For the assembly position of the workpiece to be welded that cannot meet the assembly accuracy requirements, the assembly robot is guided to adjust the workpiece to the correct assembly position for welding.
