The estimation and management of motor temperature are important for the continuous movements of robots. In this study, we propose an online learning method of thermal model parameters of motors for an accurate estimation of motor core temperature. Also, we propose a management method of motor core temperature using the updated model and anomaly detection method of motors. Finally, we apply this method to the muscles of the musculoskeletal humanoid and verify the ability of continuous movements.
