Abstract
A method comprises: receiving a first waveform that is based on sensing of a robot using a wireless sensor, wherein the first waveform indicates a first acceleration over a first period of time; determining whether a first value of a first peak of the first waveform exceeds a first threshold; determining whether the first waveform exhibits a first vibration signature; and performing, when the first value exceeds the first threshold or when the first waveform exhibits the first vibration signature, a predictive maintenance analysis of the robot.

A method comprising:
- receiving a first waveform that is based on sensing of a robot using a wireless sensor, wherein the first waveform indicates a first acceleration over a first period of time;
- determining whether a first value of a first peak of the first waveform exceeds a first threshold;
- determining whether the first waveform exhibits a first vibration signature;
- and
- performing, when the first value exceeds the first threshold or when the first waveform exhibits the first vibration signature, a predictive maintenance analysis of the robot.
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
- receive a first waveform that is based on sensing of a robot using a wireless sensor, wherein the first waveform indicates first acceleration over a first period of time;
- determine whether a first value of a first peak of the first waveform exceeds a first threshold;
- determine whether the first waveform exhibits a first vibration signature;
- and
- display, when the first value exceeds the first threshold or when the first waveform exhibits the first vibration signature, a prompt to perform a predictive maintenance analysis of the robot.
A computer program product comprising instructions that are stored on a computer-readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:
- receive a first waveform that is based on sensing of a robot using a wireless sensor, wherein the first waveform indicates first acceleration over a first period of time;
- determine whether a first value of a first peak of the first waveform exceeds a first threshold;
- determine whether the first waveform exhibits a first vibration signature;
- and
- display, when the first value exceeds the first threshold or when the first waveform exhibits the first vibration signature, a prompt to perform a predictive maintenance analysis of the robot.
