Development of the Robot Power Management System Adapting to Tasks and Environments -The design guideline of the Power Control System Applied to the Distributed Control Robot

Efficient energy usage is crucial issue because energy consumption increases with the spread of RT (robot technology) application fields. Power consumption in a robot system changes according to a task and its operating environment. To adapt these conditions, we have proposed the CEPC (component for electric power control). This paper describes the electric-power design guideline of a robot's subsystem and investigation on the power consumption data obtained from experiments
