摘要

Amidst the rapidly advancing landscape of robotics, AI, and IoT, collaborative robots (cobots) play a pivotal role in the transition to Industry 5.0. The precise positioning and performance of cobots are crucial for ensuring product quality and worker safety. This paper examines system and subsystem-level Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) by leveraging Tool Centre Point (TCP) position and orientation data, along with joints’ currents measurements of cobots, to detect anomalies caused by functional deviations. The proposed framework employs multiple Long Short-Term Memory AutoEncoder (LSTM-AE) models, and the results obtained demonstrate that the framework is highly effective in detecting and isolating cobot anomalies, with high potential to be developed into a smart solution for identifying real faults.
