Abstract: Industrial robots are prone to failure due to harsh working environments, which affects movement accuracy. The fault diagnosis of industrial robots has become an indispensable part of robot collaborative maintenance in intelligent manufacturing. Most existing diagnostic methods only use a single data source, and the diagnostic accuracy will be affected due to signal acquisition errors and noise interference. This paper proposes a multi-source data fusion and channel attention convolutional neural network (MD-CA-CNN) for fault diagnosis of multi-joint industrial robots. The network takes the time domain data and time-frequency domain data of the vibration signal, torque signal, and current signal of the six joints of the robot as input. Then, we realize the diagnosis of the faults by using a Softmax Classifier layer after the two parts of feature extraction and feature fusion. In addition, a channel attention mechanism is developed. It acts on the two parts of feature extraction and feature fusion, respectively. It assigns weights to different source data and weights to time-domain and time-frequency domain features.
