Original Abstract Submitted
A robot system includes a robot that includes one or more joints, and a determination unit that is connected to the robot. The joints each include a motor, a speed reduction mechanism that reduces a speed of revolution of the motor; and a torque sensor capable of measuring an output torque of the speed reduction mechanism. The speed reduction mechanism includes a plurality of speed-reduction elements each of which reduces the speed of revolution of the motor at a predetermined reduction ratio. The determination unit calculates time-series data about an input torque to the speed reduction mechanism, and determines the speed reduction mechanism that has a problem, on the basis of time-series data about the number of revolutions of the motor, the calculated time-series data about the input torque, time-series data about the output torque measured by the torque sensor, and the reduction ratio of each of the speed-reduction elements.
