Data-Driven Energy Consumption Modeling of a UR10e Cobot in Additive Manufacturing Applications
摘要
As collaborative robots (cobots) become increasingly common in industrial settings, managing their energy consumption is critical for sustainable manufacturing. This study addresses the problem of accurately predicting the power usage of a UR10e cobot during a 3D printing process, where the robot served as a heated platform. Using real-time telemetry data such as joint speeds, voltage, and current a regression model was developed within the KNIME Analytics Platform using the XGBoost Tree Ensemble Learner. Time-series features were engineered to capture the robot’s motion dynamics, enabling effective estimation of energy consumption from movement data. This study demonstrates the applicability of low-code machine learning tools for robotic energy forecasting, with potential for extension to diverse tasks within Industry 4.0/5.0 environments.
