Robotics-edge m2m communication framework: a study

Alaa Badokhon and Ammar Al Nahari

In the context of modern manufacturing and the industrial revolution, robotics and communication technologies are playing a major role in effectively enhancing manufacturing process overall. Though with recent technological advancements, more challenges in robotics process automation and context-awareness are arose, demanding more intelligent robotics systems. Thus, we studied and analyzed implementing an edge-computing communication framework in the context of stationary and mobile robotics. In this study specifically we demonstrate the differences between non-connected robotics, centric cloud connected robotics, and edge-computing coordinating robots. In addition, we illustrate that edge-computing and coordinating robots help in resolving some of the challenges in current robotics systems, including distributed systematic adaptability, rapid manufacturing and robot teaming in the industrial context.
