Robotic communication Flashcards
What is telerobotics?
This is the control of robotics remotely at a distance via a communication network
What are some application that could use telerobotics? (5)
> Surgery > Nuclear decommissioning > Space exploration > Marine robotics > Battlefield robotics
What is proximal teleoperation?
Remote control in the same room
What is non-proximal teleoperation?
Remote control in completely different locations
What are some issues with using teleoperation?
> Latency
> Signal strength over long distances
What is swarm robotics?
The approach of coordinating several robots to preform a single task
What are some applications of swarm robotics?
> Disaster rescue
Infrastructure monitoring
Border patrolling
Manufacturing
What does RAS stand for?
Remote access server
What is RAS?
A model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient and on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources
What does BAAS stand for?
Brain-as-a-service
What is BAAS?
This is the use/application of RAS for robotic control. The cloud computers act as an external brain.
How can we enable BAAS for use with robotics?
With cellular/wireless communication
What are some benefits of cloud robotics?
> Big data can be stored and shared
Collective learning
Cloud computing power
What are 3 examples of big data?
> Maps
Images
Trajectories
What are 2 examples of collective learning?
> Shared experience
> Control policies
What are 3 benefits of cloud computing for robotics?
> Computing on demand
Big computing power to enable human computation abilities
Learning and motion planning using statistical analysis and parallel processing
What is an acceptable latency for VR?
30ms
What are some examples of robots that could benefit from cloud robotics?
> Driverless cars
Military drones
Manufacturing robots
How is propagation delay calculated?
Electrons move and propagate through a wire at the speed of light.
Photons through a fibre optical cable propagate at the speed of light.
The equation is:
Delay = Distance / Speed of light
What does CPS stand for?
Cyber-physical-systems
What is CPS?
Integrating physical and digital processes
What are some examples of CPS?
> Driverless cars
LIDAR
RADAR
GPS
Do CPS need to be connected to the internet?
No, They can be independent
What is IoT?
Internet of things
Cyber-physical-systems connected to the internet
