Towards a Distributed Computation Offloading Architecture for Cloud Robotics
Ref: CISTER-TR-190409 Publication Date: 24 to 28, Jun, 2019Abstract:
Cloud robotics is incessantly gaining ground, especially
with the rapid expansion of wireless networks and Internet
resources. In particular, computation offloading is emerging as
a new trend, enabling robots with more powerful computation
resources. It helps them to overcome the hardware and software
limitations by leveraging parallel computing capabilities and
the availability of large amounts of resources in the cloud.
However, the performance gain of computation offloading in
cloud robotics is still an ongoing research problem because
of the conflicting factors that affect the performance. In this
paper, we investigate this issue and we design a distributed cloud
robotic architecture for computation offloading based on Kafka
middleware as messaging broker. We experimentally validated
our solution and tested its performance using image processing
algorithms. Experimental results show a significant reduction
in robot CPU load, as expected, with an increase in robot
communication delays.
