The term „Hybrid Cloud Robotics“ is primarily found in the categories of Robots, Artificial Intelligence, and Industry and Industry 4.0. It describes a modern approach whereby robots are controlled both locally, i.e. directly on-site, and via the cloud. This means: the robot performs some tasks autonomously, while more complex calculations or data analyses are processed via servers on the internet.
This creates a kind of teamwork between the robot and a powerful computer cloud, allowing the robot to work more flexibly and handle tasks for which it would lack the processing power on-site. A clear example is a warehouse robot: it sorts boxes in the warehouse independently but gets „help“ from the cloud for unusual objects, where AI algorithms can quickly decide how to deal with them.
Hybrid cloud robotics saves companies money because not every robot requires expensive high-performance computers. Furthermore, robots are easier to update or optimise as new functions are provided centrally via the cloud. This makes processes more efficient and ensures that companies can react flexibly to new challenges.
