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. To adapt these conditions, we have proposed the system named the CEPC (Component for Electric Power Control) in a robot controller adopting distributed microprocessors. We defined the electric-power profiles as power consumption characteristics of the tasks. The robot's power consumption is predicted and controlled by using this profile.
