    Abstract: A robot system including a robot, a control unit, a sensor to detect a magnitude of force applied to the robot, a determination unit configured to determine, based on the magnitude of the detected force, whether there is application of an external force different from a load acting on the robot during a task performed by the robot, and a storage unit to store the magnitude of force detected by the sensor when the control unit executes at least one operation command when there is no application of the external force, in association with the operation command, where the determination unit determines, when the operation command is executed by the control unit, presence or absence of the external force based on the magnitude of force stored in the storage unit in association with the operation command and the magnitude of force detected by the sensor.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for proactively preventing hazardous or other situations in a robot-cloud interaction are provided. An example method includes receiving information associated with task logs for a plurality of robotic devices. The task logs may include information associated with tasks performed by the plurality of robotic devices. The method may also include a computing system determining information associated with hazardous situations based on the information associated with the task logs. For example, the hazardous situations may comprise situations associated with failures of one or more components of the plurality of robotic devices. According to the method, information associated with a contextual situation of a first robotic device may be determined, and when the information associated with the contextual situation is consistent with information associated with the one or more hazardous situations, an alert indicating a potential failure of the first robotic device may be provided.

    Abstract: Example implementations may relate to methods and systems to prevent damage in robots. In particular, a robotic system may include a particular component that is moveable along one or more degrees of freedom (DOFs) each providing a respective range of motion (ROM) of the particular component. This robotic system may detect movement of the particular component along a particular DOF and may responsively determine mechanical feedback characteristics that define, for each of one or more positions of the particular component along the respective ROM provided by the particular DOF, a force to be provided by at least one actuator coupled to the particular component. So during the movement, the robotic system may determine a particular position of the particular component along the respective ROM and, based on the particular position, the robotic system may direct an actuator to provide a force in accordance with the determined mechanical feedback characteristics.
