2P2-C27 Development of the Robot Power Management System Adapting to Tasks and Environments : The Instance that Applied the Power Control System to the Distributed Control Robot

Abstract

Efficient energy usage is crucial issue because energy consumption increases with the spread of RT (Robot Technology) application fields. Power consumption in a robot system changes according to a task and its operating environment. This paper describes the outline of the CEPC (Component for Electric Power Control) system. And the effectiveness of the power-saving effect is verified based on an actual robot's distributed component. The effectiveness was verified by transition of the power consumption of a robot service.
