Real-world applications require light-weight, energy-efficient, fully autonomous robots. Yet, increasing autonomy is oftentimes synonymous with escalating computational requirements. It might thus be desirable to offload intensive computation—not only sensing and planning, but also low-level whole-body control—to remote servers in order to reduce on-board computational needs. Fifth Generation (5G)...
