Case-Study: Autonomous Mobility and AI services through 5G and Edge
Gestalt Robotics' Autonomous Mobility and AI services enhanced by Huawei’s 5G and Edge AI
Gestalt Robotics and Huawei are combining their technologies to deliver a unified and robot vendor-agnostic software for autonomous navigation and control of fleets of mobile robots, which is running on powerful AI edge servers.
Through a highly modular approach, the solution supports the straightforward deployment and integration of mobile transport systems and robots from multiple vendors and facilitates machine-to-machine communication over 5G campus networks. The solution enables highly scalable AI-based computer vision applications by providing mobile robots access to powerful AI-computing located on the edge server, which is possible because of the low latency and high throughput of the 5G network.
Examples of innovative AI-based applications that become possible on top of a fleet of autonomous mobile robots using the combined technologies include asset detection, inspection, inventory assessment, intelligent interaction with human workers, and semantic mapping of the factory floor.
Additional unique features include:
instant information exchange between robots and other machines, allowing a more integrated operation
centralized robot vendor-agnostic fleet management
navigation as-a-service model, making the solution on-demand, modular, connected, and extensible
Users can expect a new level of software life cycle management by offloading the mobile robot's computation to the edge server, resulting in lower onboard energy consumption and longer uptime. The seamless connectivity transitions between 5G cells enable both indoor and outdoor navigation.
This solution from Gestalt Robotics and Huawei offers a long-term perspective, enables better planning, attractive business models, and, above all, lets operators focus on their core business. Users can also expect enhanced operation in a wide range of sectors including logistics, hospitals, airports, and public spaces.
