[0103] The tank top recognition model is used to determine whether there is a tank top in the workstation image, that is, whether there is a tank top on the spot welding station.

[0104] Step 410: When there is a tank top on the spot welding station, the tank top features are identified from a preset tank top feature recognition model according to the station image.

[0105] When there are tank bodies and tank tops on the spot welding station, it means that there are parts that need to be spot welded. The tank top feature recognition model refers to a neural network model obtained through sample training in advance. The tank top feature recognition model can recognize the tank top features in the station image.

[0106] Step 411: Matching the close-fitting stroke from a preset close-fitting stroke matching model based on the tank body features and the tank top features.

[0107] The close-fitting stroke matching model refers to a neural network model obtained through sample training in advance. The close-fitting stroke matching model can match the close-fitting stroke for tightly fitting the tank top and the tank body through the gripping device.
