Serverless Architecture for Service Robot Management System
This addresses the challenge of coordinating diverse robots in operational settings, but it is incremental as it applies existing serverless and IoT technologies to a specific domain.
The authors tackled the problem of managing multiple service robots by developing a cloud-based system using serverless architecture and IoT communication, which was successfully tested in a public facility to confirm performance and functionality.
We have developed service robot management system to facilitate effective collaboration between multiple units and types of robots in operation. This system is implemented by serverless architecture on cloud and using cellular based IoT communication. So it has not only usual cloud system advantage that it is not necessary to prepare dedicated server and network equipment, but it reduces management efforts of servers. We have tested the system with robots in a public facility, and successfully confirmed its performance and functionality.
