Building a real-world robot enabled solution is challenging. Access to limitless compute and storage facilitates smarter, cheaper, and agile robots. Cloud robotics has different considerations than a typical web application.The session aims to dive into architecting a PaaS for robotics atop Kubernetes.
More specifically - Lessons learned and benefits accrued migrating from the pre-docker era. Discuss abstractions necessary to appeal to a roboticist and challenges running ROS[1] middleware in the cloud-native world. Our extensions to sig-catalog and the OSB Spec. Ideas unifying declarative runtimes across the cloud and remote heterogeneous devices. Describe adaptations to Helm, Fluent, and other cloud-based infrastructure tools to manage and debug distributed robotic applications.
In conclusion, the session will touch upon future directions and discuss community participation.
