Robot service system and a method for providing remote service for a robot
First Claim
1. A robot service system comprising a robot including least one manipulator and a controller controlling the motion of the manipulator, the robot service system comprising:
- a remote service center including an analyzing computer,a communication line between the robot controller and the remote service center, wherein the remote service center is adapted, upon request, to send new parameters to the robot controller and the robot controller is adapted to receive the parameters and to run the robot based on the new parameters, anda monitoring component configured to monitor the current operation of the controller and the current motions of the manipulator, and to transmit information on the current operation of the controller and the current motions of the manipulator to the remote service center,wherein said analyzing computer is configured, upon request, to calculate new maximum permissible performance parameters for the robot based on said received information and to transmit the new maximum permissible performance parameters to the robot controller,wherein said analyzing computer is further configured to calculate one or more monitoring parameters, andwherein said monitoring component is further configured to supervise that the robot is not run outside allowed limits based on said monitoring parameters.

Abstract
A robot service system including a robot including least one manipulator and a controller controlling the motion of the manipulator. A remote service center includes an analyzing computer, and a communication line between the robot controller and the remote service center. A monitoring component is configured to monitor the current operation of the controller and the current motions of the manipulator, and to transmit information on the current operation of the controller and the current motions of the manipulator to the remote service center. The analyzing computer is configured, upon request, to calculate new maximum permissible performance parameters for the robot based on the received information and to transmit the new maximum permissible performance parameters to the robot controller. The analyzing computer is further configured to calculate one or more monitoring parameter, and the monitoring component is further configured to supervise that the robot is not run outside allowed limits based on the monitoring parameters.

11. A method for providing remote service for an industrial robot including least one manipulator and a controller controlling the motion of the manipulator, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request for improved operation of the robot, transmitting information on the current operation of the controller and the current motions of the manipulator to a remote service center upon receiving the request, calculating new maximum permissible performance parameters for the robot based on said information, transmitting the new maximum permissible performance parameters to the robot controller, calculating one or more monitoring parameters, operating the robot based on the new maximum permissible performance parameters, and supervising the robot such that the robot is not run outside allowed limits based on said monitoring parameters. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
