Proposal

Cloud robotics is an emerging field that combines robotics with cloud computing and services. While it
offers many advantages, it also comes with several key challenges. Some of these are latency, network
bandwidth and time-synchronization which we have addressed whilst working on OuterSense.
In our contribution to the MRSD Wiki we propose to first provide a concise introduction to cloud
robotics, emphasizing the latest research trends and enabling technologies.

We will then delve into the specifics of building a cloud robotics testbed, which includes setting up a communication network.
Here, we discuss trade-offs and offer guidance on using the Archer TP-Link Wifi router from the
MRSD Inventory.

We will present an overview of popular methods and trade-offs in time-synchronization techniques. We
will explain how to use Chrony to synchronize time across distributed systems even in the absence of
internet connectivity and real-time clocks.

Simulating latency is another crucial consideration in cloud robotics testing. We will provide a primer
on common incorrect methods for simulating communication latency and offer an implementation of simulating accurate latency in real-time systems deployed.
