[D] How will AI edge computing be useful for industrial robots?

[chetan113]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to know more about AI edge computing and how it can be useful for robotic manipulators in next-generation factories. I hope we can you can share from your insight and experience about such a topic.

Hi,

Yes of course. Not for the robot control (motion control) itself but more for the data that are generated by the robot and the sensors that are used to manage the entire process.

We are actually working with one Robot OEMs that want to move this analysis from cloud to edge.

Hello Chetan,

Thanks for your question.

Edge intelligence will make industrial robots more smarter:

Edge will provide more intelligence close to the process therefore less need to move the data to higher layers and traditional automation technology can be expanded with intelligent AI-based real time applications.

Demand for local data processing (close to machine in a secure way) is increasing every day and many times the regulations prohibit transferring data to cloud outside country / Company. This is exactly the point where Industrial Edge steps in and provides the benefits of cloud with the local solution.

I hope this answers your question

Thanks & regards,
