报告题目：Impacts of wireless and edge computing on robot control: a network hardware-in-the-loop method and preliminary results

报告摘要：

New generation digital infrastructure is offering more deterministic wireless connectivity such as 5G and WiFi6 and more powerful and flexible edge/fog computing to industrial users. This is accelerating the development of the so-called Cloud Robotics which intend to offload as much as possible complex computing tasks from the local controller to the edge/fog infrastructure. However, it is still unclear how much can be done over the state-of-the-art wireless networks and cloud/edge computing techniques. This is especially concerned in the time-critical and/or safety-critical use cases, e.g., safe coordination of multiple mobile robots, teleoperation of surgical robots, etc. In this presentation, I will share our recent progresses on this topic. I will first introduce the network hardware-in-the-loop (N-HiL) simulation methods which can provide insightful measurement of the impact caused by the imperfections of the communication and computing. Then preliminary assessment of the WiFi6, 5G, and relevant cloud computing frameworks will be presented. As the end, I will share the open challenges for future research.
