A Data-driven Method for Monitoring Systems that Operate Repetitively – Applications to Robust Wear Monitoring in an Industrial Robot Joint
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for condition monitoring of systems that operate in a repetitive manner. A data driven method is proposed that considers changes in the distribution of data samples obtained from multiple executions of one or several tasks. This is made possible with the use of kernel density estimators and the Kullback-Leibler distance measure between distributions. To increase robustness to unknown disturbances and sensitivity to faults, the use of a weighting function is suggested which can considerably improve detection performance. The method is very simple to implement, it does not require knowledge about the monitored system and can be used without process interruption, in a batch manner. The method is illustrated with applications to robust wear monitoring in a robot joint. Interesting properties of the application are presented through a real case study and simulations. The achieved results show that robust wear monitoring in industrial robot joints is made possible with the proposed method.

متن کاملTask-space Control of Electrically Driven Robots
Actuators of robot operate in the joint-space while the end-effect or of robot is controlled in the task-space. Therefore, designing a control system for a robotic system in the task-space requires the jacobian matrix information for transforming joint-space to task-space, which suffers from uncertainties. This paper deals with the robust task-space control of electrically driven robot manipula...

Industrial robots are designed to endure several years of uninterrupted operation and therefore are very reliable. However, no amount of design effort can prevent deterioration over time, and equipments will eventually fail. Its impacts can, nevertheless, be considerably reduced if good maintenance/service practices are performed. The current practice for service of industrial robots is based o...

This paper presents a method for monitoring of systems that operate in a repetitive manner. Considering that data batches collected from a repetitive operation will be similar unless in the presence of an abnormality, a condition change is inferred by comparing the monitored data against a nominal batch. The method proposed considers the comparison of data in the distribution domain, which reve...

Some quality characteristics are well defined when treated as response variables and are related to some independent variables. This relationship is called a profile. Parametric models, such as linear models, may be used to model profiles. However, in practical applications due to the complexity of many processes it is not usually possible to model a process using parametric models.In these cas...
