System and method for offloading robotic functions to network edge augmented clouds

A system for offloading one or more scalable robotic tasks in a mobile robotics framework, wherein the system comprising:

• a memory with a set of instructions;
• at least a processor, wherein the processor is communicatively couple with the memory;
• a cluster of mobile robots which are configured to connect with a back-end cloud infrastructure, wherein at a mobile robot of the cluster of mobile robots receives one or more scalable robotic tasks;
• an analysis module is configured to analyze the one or more scalable robotic tasks for offloading to one or more external resources based on computation, communication load and energy usage of each scalable robotic task;
• and
• means for offloading the one or more scalable robotic tasks, wherein the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is partitioned to meet latency requirements, to achieve accurate robot localization and to build a map of the unknown environment.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for offloading one or more scalable robotic tasks in a mobile robotics framework, the instructions comprise:

• receiving one or more scalable robotic tasks at a mobile robot of a cluster of mobile robots, wherein the one or more scalable robotic tasks include building a map of an unknown environment by using the mobile robot, navigating the environment using the map and localizing the mobile robot on the map;
• estimating the map of an unknown environment by using the mobile robot, wherein at the same time the mobile robot localizes itself on the map;
• analyzing, the one or more scalable robotic tasks for offloading to one or more external resources based on computation, communication load and energy usage of each scalable robotic task, wherein the analysis module priorities the one or more scalable robotic tasks to minimize the execution time of the one or more scalable robotic tasks of the mobile robot;
• and
• offloading the one or more scalable robotic tasks to one or more external resources, wherein the one or more external resources comprising a mobile cloud and an edge of a network.
