  • Publication number: 20240139944
    Abstract: The robotic arm operating system includes a control device, a plurality of joint devices and a brake release monitoring device. The control device is used to generate an operation instruction. The joint device is coupled to the control device. Each joint device includes a motor and a driver. The drivers of the joint devices receive the operation instruction to generate corresponding multiple unlocking signals. The unlocking signals are used to release a braking state of the motors of the corresponding joint devices. The brake release monitoring device is coupled to the control device and the joint devices, and includes a plurality of monitoring circuits. When one of the plurality of monitoring circuits does not receive the corresponding unlocking signal, the brake release monitoring device notifies the control device that the operation instruction is not allowed.
