When I say manage here, I am talking about system configuration, code deployment and systems administration type tasks. Long term you really should be utilising tools like Ansible, Docker and Airbotics to keep your fleets Linux systems running as you intend. However, in reality it is often needed to do some quick maintenance operation to many Linux systems (or robots) at once even in the early days of a robotics startup when you might have a small fleet and maybe not yet settled on a setup using one of the aforementioned “proper” tools. https://mshields.name/blog/2022-02-15-reports-from-the-frontline-of-raas/ Tue, 15 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://mshields.name/blog/2022-02-15-reports-from-the-frontline-of-raas/ Preamble Surely whole point of a robotics as a service (RaaS) is to deploy robots and get paid. But there are a lot of considerations that are easy to overlook when making sure you are ready. The idea for most people who get into this field often looks something like this: Design a robot Build some of those robots Deploy them … Profit? But inside those ellipses be dragons. Let’s try and figure out how to conquer them.
