Abstract

The present paper aims at analyzing the topological content of the complex trajectories that weeder-autonomous robots follow in operation. We will prove that the topological descriptors of these trajectories are affected by the robot environment as well as by the robot state, with respect to maintenance operations. Most of existing methodologies enabling efficient diagnosis are based on the data analysis, and in particular on some statistical quantities derived from the data. The present work explores the use of an original approach that instead of analyzing quantities derived from the data, analyzes the “shape” of the data, that is, the time series topology based on the homology persistence. We will prove that this procedure is able to extract valuable patterns able to discriminate the trajectories that the robot follows depending on the particular patch in which it operates, as well as to differentiate the robot behavior before and after undergoing a maintenance operation. Even if it is a preliminary work, and it does not pretend to compare its performances with respect to other existing technologies, this work opens new perspectives in considering quite natural and simple descriptors based on the intrinsic information that data contains, with the aim of performing efficient diagnosis and prognosis.
