Hi there. I'm designing a robotic welding arm for a college project. I want to know if I can use blockly to program and control the arm movements and welding process? and if it's possible, Is it necessary to use an internet connection to use blockly or can be used offline?

Hi Yen,

Hi there. I'm designing a robotic welding arm for a college project. I want to know if I can use blockly to program and control the arm movements and welding process?

I don't know anything about welding, but I do know that ABB makes robots that can be controlled using Blockly, and so do KUKANiryo, and probably many many more.  This is an area which has also been studied by academic researchers.
 
and if it's possible, Is it necessary to use an internet connection to use blockly or can be used offline?

Blockly is a JavaScript library which uses the DOM, so you need a web browser or equivalent (e.g. Electron) to render the UI, but Blockly can easily be configured to run with no external network connection, making it suitable for offline use.  Blockly Games is an example of a Blockly-based app that can be run offline.
