Kubernetes Robotics Edge Cluster System

Explore a conference talk on the Kubernetes Robotics Edge Cluster System presented by Tomoya Fujita from Sony Corporation and Feng Gao from Sony China Ltd. Dive into Sony R&D Center's experience with robotics and learn how Kubernetes can be leveraged for edge cluster systems in robotics applications. Discover the advantages of using Kubernetes for application lifecycle management, deployment, and recovery in distributed robotics systems. Gain insights into the integration of Kubernetes with Robotics Operating System (ROS) and ROS Data Distributed System for enabling direct connections and collaborative work among multiple robots. Understand the challenges and solutions for deploying robotics applications on edge clusters, including the use of device-plugins for hardware resource attachment and virtual device access. Explore topics such as CNI implementation, security enclaves, cluster reconfiguration, and future plans for enhancing edge-dependent platforms in robotics.
