ABSTRACT:
Power strip health is monitored by detecting power supplied through the power strip as sensed by a robotic device. An indication of power is sensed from the power strip with a first power pickup and a second power pickup. The second power pickup is located on the robotic device away from the first power pickup along a direction of travel of the robotic device. A determination is made that the difference between the power sensed with the first power pickup and the power sensed with the second power pickup exceeds a threshold. A power strip failure is determined based on this difference.
