Retracted: Predictive maintenance and robotic system design

In the last few years, mobile as well as manufacturing oriented Robotic Systems design process needs to address principles form emerging paradigms such as Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT). Predictive Maintenance is one of the domains that can benefit from state of the art development in CPS and IoT. The present paper focuses on predictive maintenance for CPS based robotic systems. The results presented in the paper are related to the analysis of a Predictive Maintenance System for Robotic Systems integrating CPS and IoT components. The data acquisition relevant to predictive maintenance activities will take into consideration the aspects related to each equipment involved in the process: cps– embedded, extended with sensors or automated visual inspection.
