Abstract
This paper presents availability analysis of a system composed of a ro bot and its associated safety system. The failed robot system is repai rable and its associated repair rates could be constant or non-constan t. The supplementary variable and Markov techniques were employed to o btain expressions for steady state availability, state probabilities, and Laplace transform of the state probabilities. Various plots are pr esented.
