The term "hybrid cloud robotics" is mainly used in the categories of robots, artificial intelligence and Industry and Factory 4.0. It describes a modern approach in which robots are controlled both locally, i.e. directly on site, and via the cloud. This means that the robot performs some tasks independently, while more complex calculations or data analyses are carried out 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 also complete tasks for which it would lack the computing power on site. An illustrative example is a warehouse robot: it sorts boxes in the warehouse independently, but gets "help" from the cloud for unusual objects, where AI algorithms decide at lightning speed how to deal with them.
Hybrid cloud robotics saves companies money because not every robot needs expensive high-performance computers. Robots can also be updated or optimised more easily because new functions are provided centrally via the cloud. This makes processes more efficient and ensures that companies can react flexibly to new challenges.
