What is it about?
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the required number of robots consisting of some non-repairable components, by employing a renewal model.

Why is it important?
Determining a required number of robots is an important issue in the availability and utilization of a complex robotic production system.
Perspectives
Most of the available research on the estimation of the required standby components based on the reliability characteristics of components has not considered the environmental factors influencing the reliability characteristics. Therefore, such estimations are not accurate enough. In contrast, this paper focuses on the influence of environmental and human factors (e.g. the operators’ skill) on the robot reliability characteristics.
