Abstract
A method for controlling a robot includes monitoring the robot, and carrying out a fault reaction, selected from a number of specified fault reactions, on the basis of the monitoring of the robot, wherein the fault reaction is selected on the basis of a monitoring of an operational capability and/or an output variable of at least one motor of the robot.
Claims19
A method for controlling a robot, the method comprising:
- monitoring at least one of an operational capability or an output variable of at least one motor of the robot;
- and
- carrying out a fault reaction, wherein the fault reaction is selected from a plurality of specified fault reactions on the basis of the monitoring of the robot.
A control means for controlling a robot, the control means comprising:
- a first monitoring means for monitoring the robot;
- a second monitoring means for monitoring at least one of an operational capability or an output variable of at least one motor of the robot;
- a fault reaction means for carrying out a fault reaction on the basis of the monitoring of the robot, the fault reaction selected from a plurality of specified fault reactions;
- and
- a selection means for selecting the fault reaction on the basis of the monitoring of the at least one of an operational capability or an output variable of at least one motor of the robot.
A robot, comprising:
- a plurality of drive motors;
- and
- control means for controlling the drive motors, the control means comprising:
- a first monitoring means for monitoring the robot,
- a second monitoring means for monitoring at least one of an operational capability or an output variable of at least one of the drive motors,
- a fault reaction means for carrying out a fault reaction on the basis of the monitoring of the robot, the fault reaction selected from a plurality of specified fault reactions, and
- a selection means for selecting the fault reaction on the basis of the monitoring of the at least one of an operational capability or an output variable of at least one motor of the robot.
Computer program product for controlling a robot, the computer program product having programming code stored on a non-transitory machine readable data medium, the programming code configured to, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- monitor at least one of an operational capability or an output variable of at least one motor of the robot;
- and
- carry out a fault reaction on the basis of the monitoring of the robot, wherein the fault reaction is selected from a plurality of specified fault reactions.
