Abstract
A method monitors a supply system of a robot having a robot arm and a robot hand movable relative thereto. The supply system has a supply chain, in particular a cable assembly, and a guide for the supply chain. The supply chain is guided along the robot arm in order to supply the robot hand. The supply system also has a number of sensors for monitoring at least one state variable of the supply system. The functional capability of the supply system is concluded, inferred or predicted from values for the state variable that are determined by the sensors.
