PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control a dexterous robot execution sequence using state classification.SOLUTION: The robot includes a plurality of robotic joints, actuators for moving the joints, and sensors for measuring characteristics of the joints, and for transmitting the characteristics as sensor signals. The controller receives the sensor signals, and is configured for executing instructions from a memory, classifying the sensor signals into distinct classes via a state classification module, monitoring a system state of the robot using the classes, and controlling the robot in the execution of alternative work tasks based on the system state. A method for controlling the robot in the system includes steps for receiving the signals via the controller, classifying the signals using the state classification module, monitoring the present system state of the robot using the classes, and controlling the robot in the execution of alternative work tasks based on the present system state.
