Abstract: Disclosed example robotic welding systems include: a robotic manipulator configured to manipulate a welding torch; a first input device attached to the robotic manipulator and configured to receive rotational and translational inputs; a second input device attached to the robotic manipulator and configured to receive a masking input; and a robot control system, comprising: a processor; and a machine readable storage medium comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: in response to activation of the masking input via the second input device, masking at least a portion of the inputs received via the first input device; and in response to inputs to the first input device, move the robotic manipulator according to the inputs and based on whether the inputs are masked.
