ABSTRACT
Delivery robots face the problem of storage and computational stress when performing immediate tasks, exceeding the limits of on-board computing power. Based on cloud computing, robots can offload intensive tasks to the cloud and acquire massive data resources. With its distributed cluster architecture, the platform can help offload computing and improve the computing power of the control center, which can be considered the external “brain” of the robot. Although it expands the capabilities of the robot, cloud service deployment remains complex because most current cloud robot applications are based on monolithic architectures. Some scholars have proposed developing robot applications through the microservice development paradigm, but there is currently no unified microservice-based robot cloud platform. This paper proposes a delivery robot cloud platform based on microservice, providing dedicated services for autonomous driving of delivery robot. The microservice architecture is adopted to split the monomer robot application into multiple services and then implement automatic orchestration and deployment of services on the cloud platform based on components such as Kubernetes, Docker, and Jenkins. This enables containerized CI/CD (continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous delivery) for the cloud platform service, and the whole process can be visualized, repeatable, and traceable. The platform is prebuilt with development tools, and robot application developers can use these tools to develop in the cloud, without the need for any customization in the background, to achieve the rapid deployment and launch of robot cloud service. Through the cloud migration of traditional robot applications and the development of new APPs, the platform service capabilities are continuously improved. This paper verifies the feasibility of the platform architecture through the delivery scene experiment.
