Robot Performance Testing: Choosing the Right Measure
Match the measure to the claim
| Claim | Typical measure |
|---|---|
| Positioning capability | Pose accuracy and repeatability |
| Path quality | Path accuracy and repeatability |
| Stability | Consistency over repeated cycles |
| Special behaviour | Measures such as path deviation or static compliance |
Test discipline
- State speed, load, temperature and the number of cycles.
- Use one instrument and one program per test batch so results can be compared.
- File the report as part of the acceptance documentation.
Environment and tooling affect the result. Compare figures only under matched conditions.
