Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robot health management and intelligent operation and maintenance technology, specifically a robot fault prediction system based on artificial intelligence algorithms. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial robots are the core execution units of modern automated production lines. The accurate prediction of their operating status and maintenance decisions are directly related to production continuity and enterprise operating costs. Robot fault prediction systems integrate data from multiple sources such as current, vibration, and temperature sensors to achieve real-time monitoring of equipment health status and optimized resource scheduling.
[0003] Existing technologies primarily rely on fixed threshold alarms or simple linear regression models, failing to fully leverage the temporal characteristics of high-dimensional heterogeneous data for comprehensive decision-making. They are ill-suited to the complex dynamic nonlinearities and variable workloads of industrial robots. Due to a lack of effective topological representation of the physical degradation process, existing solutions struggle to capture microscopic distortions that cause the system state to deviate from its steady-state trajectory, limiting the accuracy of remaining effective working life predictions and failing to provide reliable probability distribution support for subsequent decisions. Furthermore, current operation and maintenance management models generally operate equipment health monitoring and external spare parts supply chain management in isolation, failing to achieve deep integration of failure risk probability and logistics timeliness costs in the time dimension. This information silo leads to a severe imbalance between maintenance costs and operational risks, failing to effectively address downtime losses due to spare parts delivery delays and hindering the waste of spare parts' remaining value caused by premature maintenance. Simultaneously, the lack of a physical closed loop from algorithm prediction to logistics execution, coupled with information delays caused by human intervention, further limits the system's response speed. Therefore, an artificial intelligence-based solution is urgently needed to address the deadlock between maintenance costs, operational risks, and prediction accuracy in robot operation and maintenance through manifold mapping and supply chain data convolution.

This system aims to solve the impossible triad deadlock problem between maintenance costs and operational risks in existing technologies. The first part of the system's core architecture is a data acquisition module. In this embodiment, the data acquisition module is implemented through a multi-dimensional sensor group deployed at key joints of the industrial robot, such as the reducer and servo motor output.

During the phase space reconstruction process, the system uses mutual information to calculate the minimum point of the autocorrelation function to determine the optimal delay time. The proportion of pseudo-nearest neighbors is calculated in each dimension projection using the pseudo-nearest neighbor method. When the proportion is less than 5%, it is determined as the minimum embedding dimension. This ensures that the topological structure of the high-dimensional manifold surface can accurately reproduce the robot's dynamic characteristics;

Through this explicit operator, the decision-making module can perform integral convolution operations to solve for the minimum total cost. When the computer discretizes and performs the convolution integral, the upper limit of integration is set to the preset risk assessment horizon endpoint in the high-dimensional phase space. High-dimensional phase space is used to ensure that the optimal maintenance time can be solved within a finite observation window. System solution Corresponding optimal maintenance time The system generates dynamic maintenance work orders based on these orders; the feedback loop module not only executes the dynamic maintenance work orders, but also adjusts the robot's operating strategy based on the execution results of the work orders.
