摘要：As complex systems have become global and essentialin today’s society, their reliable design and the determinationof their availability have turned into a veryimportant task for managers and engineers. Industrialrobots are examples of these complex systems that arebeing increasingly used for intelligent transportation,production and distribution of materials in warehousesand automated production lines. In this paper, twotechniques of reliability evaluation are developed for acomplex system of robots. Decomposition method andminimal path and cuts method are adapted for the proposedcomplex system. For practical implementation,a particular robot system is first modeled. Then, reliabilityblock diagram is adopted to model the complex systemfor reliability evaluation purpose. Finally, the methodsare implemented and their properties are discussed.
