Reliability analysis of a repairable robot system

摘要

Presents two newly developed Markov models (I and II) to perform reliability analysis of a system composed of a robot and its associated safety system. Model I presents expressions for robot reliability, mean time between failure, and state probabilities under non‐repairable conditions. Similarly, Model II presents reliability, mean time to failure, and state probability expressions for a repairable robot system. Shows plots for robot system reliability and mean time to failure.
