There are a great many cases where it's cheaper just to hire a welder and stick them in strange places where putting a robot doesn't make sense.
Underwater welding, or welding in confined spaces, or up in strange places doing structural work are all cases where a robot capable of autonomous operation is either currently too expensive or outright impossible.

I genuinely do think though, that things like welding and painting are ripe for robotization. Even if it starts out as human augmentation at the low end. Think clayton Christensen here.
