A server includes a processor to supply a torque command to an amplifier that controls a motor that drives a linkage; include, in the torque command, an alternating signal wave that is to test a frequency response of the motor and the linkage; receive, from the amplifier, an instantaneous torque value of the motor and an instantaneous mechanical parameter value of the linkage at each time step according to a sampling rate and over a period of time; store an aggregate of both these values; determine, for a first frequency of the alternating signal wave, a magnitude and phase shift between the aggregate of the instantaneous mechanical parameter values and the aggregate of the instantaneous torque values; and generate, using an aggregate of magnitude and phase shift data for multiple frequencies of the alternating signal wave, a fingerprint to be used in performing diagnostics of motor and linkage.

DISTRIBUTED ROBOTICS LOG PROCESSING
20230280721 · 2023-09-07 ·

Processing of robotics log data may be performed onboard the robotics itself and log data may be converted to a form that is more suitable for parallel processing. In one aspect, robotics log data may include multiple channels. These channels are received and are used to generate data packages referred to as shards. Each shard is associated with a time window. For example, each shard may contain the robotics log data from all channels for the relevant time window. Additional data, such as an index and metadata, may be included with the shards so that each shard may be processed independently. Each shard is independently consumable and, as a result, the shards may be processed in parallel to accomplish some task. Furthermore, the creation of shards and the subsequent processing of shards may occur onboard the robotics itself.

Robot, method for controlling motion of a robot and non-transitory readable medium

The present disclosure relates to intelligent control technology, and provides a robot, a method for controlling motion of a robot and a non-transitory readable medium. The method includes: acquiring current motion state of the robot; when the robot is in abnormal motion state, storing received data; when the robot returns to normal motion state, acquiring restoring time for the robot to return from the abnormal motion state to the normal motion state; and controlling the robot to perform a corresponding action after the robot returns to the normal motion state. In this way when multiple robots perform synchronized tasks and one of them is interrupted, this robot may perform the corresponding action based on the fault duration and the data which correspond to the action the robot needs to perform in the normal motion state. Thus, this robot may keep its actions consistent with the others.
