Title
OROS: Orchestrating ROS-driven Collaborative Connected Robots in Mission-Critical Operations
Abstract
Battery life for collaborative robotics scenarios is a key challenge limiting operational uses and deployment in real life. Mission-Critical tasks are among the most relevant and challenging scenarios. As multiple and heterogeneous on-board sensors are required to explore unknown environments in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) tasks, battery life problems are further exacerbated. Given the time-sensitivity of mission-critical operations, the successful completion of specific tasks in the minimum amount of time is of paramount importance. In this paper, we analyze the benefits of 5G-enabled collaborative robots by enhancing the Robot Operating System (ROS) capabilities with network orchestration features for energy-saving purposes. We propose OROS, a novel orchestration approach that minimizes mission-critical task completion times of 5G-connected robots by jointly optimizing robotic navigation and sensing together with infrastructure resources. Our results show that OROS significantly outperforms state-of-the-art solutions in exploration tasks completion times by exploiting 5G orchestration features for battery life extension.
