In our experience, the task of optimizing robot longevity and efficiency is challenging due to the limited understanding and awareness developers' have about how their code influences a robot's expected lifespan. Unfortunately, acquiring the necessary information for computations is a complex task,
The code performance of industrial robots is typically analyzed through CPU metrics, which overlook the physical impact of code on robot behavior. This study introduces a novel framework for assessing robot program performance from an embodiment perspective by analyzing the robot’s electrical power
Automating a production line with robotic arms is a complex, demanding task that requires not only substantial resources but also a deep understanding of the automated processes and available technologies and tools. Expert integrators must consider factors such as placement, payload, and robot reach
Anticipating the maintenance needs of lightweight robotic manipulators at precise future instances represents a significant challenge within the automation domain. This letter introduces an innovative and comprehensive method to estimate the severity of stress imposed on a robot joint at any given t
Improving robot deployment is a central step towards speeding up robot-based automation in manufacturing. A main challenge in robot deployment is how to best place the robot within the workcell. To tackle this challenge, we combine two knowledge sources: robotic knowledge of the system and workcell…
Limited resources and resulting energy crises occurring all over the world highlight the importance of energy efficiency in technological developments such as robotic manipulators. Efficient energy consumption of manipulators is necessary to make them affordable and spread their application in the f
Compliance with global guidelines for sustainable and responsible production in modern industry requires a comparative analysis of consumer devices' energy consumption (EC). This also holds true for the newly established generation of lightweight industrial robots (LIRs). To identify potential strat…
Traditionally, the objective of industrial production focuses on fast and low-cost production, regardless of resources and energy consumption (EC). However, in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), governments worldwide have proposed regulations to reduce resources and energy. I
