A Novel Task Offloading Scheme for Robotics Applications in Information Centric Networks

This contribution proposes a novel task offloading scheme for robotics applications in Information-Centric Networks. The reference scenario includes heterogeneous agents connected to various wireless Network Attachment Points, asking for computational services to Multi-access Edge Computing servers deployed at the network edge. It also uses Information-Centric Networking facilities to implement resource announcement, resource discovery, and service provisioning. The effectiveness of the conceived solution has been tested through experimental tests in realistic scenarios.
