Testing of intelligent robots, development and experience

Abstract

Industrial Robots (IR) has dominant functional position in the Robotized Manufacturing Systems (RMS). Knowing the features of IR determines success and effectivity of work RMS. The working reliability of IR explains in complex the quality of function of IR in the concrete working conditions. For testing IR, the standard ISO 9283 was made, the standard has positive results in praxis. Our experience insist on the need of testing IR in wider range mainly if the prototype or difficult IR application is considered. Several years experience obtained within testing IR on the workplaces of authors could be characterised by this contribution.
