Do We Run Large-scale Multi-Robot Systems on the Edge?

摘要

We investigate the feasibility and challenges of running large-scale multi-robot systems on edge computing infrastructure. Our study examines the trade-offs between centralized cloud processing and distributed edge deployment for coordinating hundreds of robots. We propose a two-phase performance model that accounts for communication latency, computation constraints, and synchronization overhead, providing guidelines for scaling multi-robot systems in real-world deployments.
