ROBOTICS APPLICATIONS IN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Maintenance is the process that preserves or restores a desired state of a system or facility. The maintenance process includes three major activities: inspection, planned maintenance, and disturbance handling (where disturbances are unplanned system states). Inspection is the activity in which information about state is monitored to allow prediction or early detection of disturbances. Planned maintenance is the activity in which elements of the system are modified or replaced according to a pre-determined schedule, with the aim of avoiding or reducing the frequency of disturbances. Disturbance handling is the activity in which elements of the system are modified or replaced to restore the desired state, following a disturbance.
