For robotic systems involved in challenging environments, it is crucial to be able to identify faults as early as possible. In challenging environments, it is not always possible to explore all of the fault space, thus anomalous data can act as a broader surrogate, where an anomaly may represent a fault or a predecessor to a fault. This paper proposes a method for identifying anomalous data from a robot, whilst using minimal nominal data for training. A Monte Carlo ensemble sampled Variational AutoEncoder was utilised to determine nominal and anomalous data through reconstructing live data. This was tested on simulated anomalies of real data, demonstrating that the technique is capable of reliably identifying an anomaly without any previous knowledge of the system. With the proposed system, we obtained an F1-score of 0.85 through testing.
