Claim 17:
18. A method for welding one or more weld points of a battery, comprising:
generating, using processing circuitry, a vision signal comprising data indicative of a location of a positional reference comprising a pair of stubs in a frame configured to position the battery, wherein a center line defined by the pair of stubs is aligned with a nominal center of the battery arranged within the frame;
interpolating, using the processing circuitry, the center line from the pair of stubs;
analyzing, using the processing circuitry, the vision signal to determine at least one weld point on the battery based on the center line, wherein the weld point is obscured to vision circuitry;
generating, using the processing circuitry, a welding control signal based on the at least one weld point; and
communicating the welding control signal to welding equipment causing the welding equipment to perform a weld at the at least one weld point.
