Autonomous robots are quickly transitioning from isolated to connected systems, offloading an increasing number of operations to third-party systems. Several historical factors contributed to the fact that robots have had the necessary intelligence built into them. By using the massive amount of data that is generated by the on-board sensors, they locate objects in real time and properly steer clear of them. Today, these robots are quickly transitioning from isolated to connected systems, offloading an increasing number of operations to third-party systems. Offloading computational tasks can actually have a significant positive impact on computational capacity, allowing to handle larger workloadsand process them more efficiently.
