Power Management

Proposal

There are many industrial robotics platforms, from large to small scale, from autonomous to manual manipulation. However, only a few studies the power monitoring and management. However, this filed will become increasingly important when robots are given more functionalities for various tasks desired. In this regard, the battery life could become an important criterion to judge whether a robot is suitable for the task.

By studying each electric component’s power consumption, we can build a mathematical performance model and guide the user to decide which mode is supposed to operate to obtain a better performance. We believe, this model could also be used in the performance prediction field, which potentially saves more energy based on the same platform. Therefore, the success experiment could be extremely valuable for the industry.
