Real-Time Fog Computing for Real Life Emergencies

In a crisis like a building collapse or worse reaching out to the cloud or other resources is probably unavailable and less valuable than gathering real-time local information.

By using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping [SLAM] robots process automatic mapping of an area.. SLAM robots are used in cases where speed matters such as firefighting, rescue operations, real-time mapping of a factory/a residential room and more. Tasks can be completed in real-time despite the limited onboard processing capabilities of robots SLAM.

At Fog World Congress you can see first-hand the effectiveness of a "Fog Computing System" distributed across a cloud-to-thing continuum, as exemplified by IoT devices (SLAM robots), Fog Nodes and a Cloud system. The demo will also highlight the effectiveness of standardization to enable system interconnection when the above cloud-to-thing system components belong to different domains.

This demonstration is available to see in the exhibit hall for free. Please register here.
