Abstract

A data driven method-based robot joint fault diagnosis method using deep residual neural network (DRNN) is proposed, where Resnet-based fault diagnosis method is introduced. The proposed method mainly deals with kinds of fault types, such as gain error, offset error and malfunction for both sensors and actuators, respectively. First, a deep residual network fault diagnosis model is derived by stacking small convolution cores and increasing the core size. meanwhile, the gaussian white noise is injected into the fault data set to verify the noise immunity for the proposed deep residual network. Furthermore, a simulation is conducted, where different fault diagnosis methods including support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network (ANN), convolutional neural network (CNN), long-term memory network (LTMN) and deep residual neural network (DRNN) are compared, and the simulation results show the accuracy of fault diagnosis for robot system using DRNN is higher, meanwhile, DRNN needs less model training time. Visualization analysis proved the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method for robot joint sensor and actuator fault diagnosis using DRNN method.
