Power efficiency degradation of machines often provides intrinsic indication of problems associated with their operation conditions. Inspired by this observation, in this thesis work, a simple yet effective power efficiency estimation base health monitoring and fault detection technique is proposed for modular and reconfigurable robot with joint torque sensor. The design of the Ryerson modular and reconfigurable robot system is first introduced, which aims to achieve modularity and compactness of the robot modules. Critical components, such as the joint motor, motor driver, harmonic drive, sensors, and joint brake, have been selected according to the requirement. Power efficiency coefficients of each joint module are obtained using sensor measurements and used directly for health monitoring and fault detection. The proposed method has been experimentally tested on the developed modular and reconfigurable robot with joint torque sensing and a distributed control system. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper describes the development of a joint torque sensor for the second direct-drive manipulator at Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU DD Arm II). The approach taken is to develop the sensor using static design considerations and then test it to verify its dynamic performance. Several design considerations applicable to semiconductor strain-gage torque sensors are presented. These are strain capacity limit, nonlinearity, sensitivity, and stiffness specifications. Associated design equations have been developed in the present work. A numerical example is given to illustrate the use of these design considerations. The development of a circular-shaft torque sensor for the CMU DD Arm II, that employs semiconductor strain gages, is described. Typical results from a static calibration test and from step and impulse tests are presented. Test show that the torque sensor performs well under dynamic conditions in a bandwidth of 100 Hz.
