Abstract
Wireless robotics enables wide applications of service robots to benefit human life. However, effective machine-to-machine communications would be the foundation of operation. With cloud-based architecture, we innovatively demonstrate in-network computation to significantly alleviate the requirement of communication bandwidth for multi-hop networking, to achieve spectrum-efficient M2M communications. We further characterize the coverage geographical of machines to impact effective operation of wireless robotics. © 2013 Springer Science Business Media New York.
