Abstract
Power monitoring system for robot is necessary to operate robot safely and efficiently. For this reason, the present study aims to propose, to design and to evaluate intelligent battery system based on CANopen standard as reusable power monitoring system. There are profiles that defined data which communicate between devices and so on in CANopen. The profile of intelligent battery was proposed. The profile has to monitor battery status enough. However, the profile is not evaluated. For this reason, we evaluate the profile in mobile robot. We focus on monitoring battery status when the robot go straight and turn around. We measured current, voltage and so on of battery and evaluated the profile by this measurement result.
