it would be good to detect extreme motor usage for example when the end-effector is blocked by a foreign object or a position cannot be reached for whatever reason. Those type of situations should be detected, for example, if a move-to command has not reached its goal within a certain timeframe, there is no reason to assume its ever going to.

it would also be good to give the motors and motor-drivers a chance to cool down by some sort of metric that tracks the buildup of temperature approximately.

one good metric to use aswell is the speed of the endeffektor, it should never exceed a constant, if it does motors should be turned off or even break to ensure that we dont damage linkages
