Description

Stefano Rosa and co-authors deploy a robot that guides museum visitors while its brain sits in the cloud, in work the text dates to 2023. The catalog lists 2024. The 5G link lets the robot offload its thinking to a remote machine. Localization, mapping, route planning, and visitor interaction are all standard parts; the novelty is running them through a live public network amid real crowds.

The paper walks through the problems the network and the visitors created, and how the team answered them. Results are reported on both method and field performance. The full software stack is public. The authors present the guide as a proof that heavy robot intelligence can live off-board when the connection is fast enough.
