Tracked failure modes
Each signature is a telemetry condition TechMedix monitors. When it trips, an alert fires with lead time to schedule maintenance before breakdown.
5-DOF arm wrist yaw shows > 1.5° deadband — check cable tension on wrist actuator
6-DOF leg joint > 70°C sustained > 30s during squat cycles — hip/knee cycloidal drive wear
6-DOF torso IMU yaw drift > 1.2°/min at rest — recalibrate or replace IMU
2MP monocular feed loss > 200ms — check USB cable routing through neck 2-DOF joint
CAN bus saturation (> 80% @ 1Mbps) causes joint command dropout — isolate segment
Don't wait for it to break
