Cloud computing architectures for mobile robotics

Abstract

in last decade, classic IT-infrastructures in modern enterprises have been changed sufficiently by cloud computing. However, cloud approach can be used effectively in other applications. In this paper, we explore applicability of cloud paradigm in mobile robotics. First approach is using some classic cloud architectures, such as Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service, with heterogeneous distributed mobile robotic system -for example, it can be used to offload a time consuming computations from mobile platforms to remote nodes or services. Second approach is using some special "robotic" types of clouds, such as Robot-as-aService and Function-as-a-Service to leverage abilities of a single robotics platform in mobile robotic system as services to robotic system's users or other mobile robotic platforms. We explore both approaches and give them some architectural examples.

Toward Haptic Communications Over the 5G Tactile Internet

“…In this case, the cloud is used for off-loading computations (e.g. for stability control) from the remote robot [223]. The previously mentioned NFV is a complimentary technology to Mobile Cloud Computing inside the 5G technology framework which allows optimal distribution of "intelligence" inside the network.…”

Application of 5G network combined with AI robots in personalized nursing in China: A literature review

“…This extensively improves robot intelligence and user experience ( Table 4 ) ( 119 ). Dyumin et al ( 120 ) proposed a structure for Cloud Robot, while in Ma et al ( 121 ) developed a household healthcare robot. In a word, the robot integrated with 5G and cloud computing has gradually become a hotspot in this field.…”

Prototype of 5G Integrated with TSN for Edge-Controlled Mobile Robotics

“…Furthermore, all these solutions for industrial communication are wired based, creating static connections. Wireless solutions have only been used for a limited number sensor systems, and communication infrastructure push toward ultra-flexible production systems [16]. Industrial mobile platforms enable temporary production cells in assembly stations.…”
