Design of an intelligent embedded system for condition monitoring of an industrial robot

摘要

We're safe for now; robots are still very complicated, especially keeping them running smoothly. An excellent published PhD thesis highlights this complexity and presents a detailed design for real-time monitoring and control of various technical aspects of industrial robots. This book crosscuts many domains touched by industrial robots, including signal processing to detect faults, software for embedded monitoring, and wireless data collection and fault processing. Although it is written about robots, many of the described techniques are also applicable to other applications. Condition monitoring has traditionally been an offline process, but new approaches help turn those into online monitoring and robot control. This supports various root cause diagnostics, as well as predictive and preventative maintenance solutions.
