What this diagram shows

  • An on-site fleet server keeps robots running without internet
  • Telemetry streams to the cloud for monitoring
  • Robot software updates are rolled out in stages

Prompt used

Robot fleet deployment: robots connect over site Wi-Fi to an on-site fleet management server running on edge Kubernetes (K3s), which handles traffic control and task assignment locally. Telemetry and logs stream over MQTT to AWS IoT Core, into Amazon Timestream and Grafana dashboards. Software updates are built in CI and delivered through AWS IoT Greengrass in staged rollouts.
