Sa. Patel et al., A KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEM FOR FAULT-DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE OF ADVANCED AUTOMATED SYSTEMS, Computers & industrial engineering, 29, 1995, pp. 147-151
A knowledge-based system for diagnosis & maintenance of robotics syste
ms has been designed which may also serve as a training tool for maint
enance personnel. The system uses a Group Technology(GT) approach for
fault classification and analysis. A simple user interface leads the u
ser through a consultation phase in order to arrive at a diagnosis. It
then recommends corrective actions and a simple test procedure to ver
ify that the robot will perform satisfactorily after the repairs.
