# SIG Robotics
The SIG Robotics focuses on technical discussion, API definition, reference architecture, implementation in robots, to enable the cloud ability(storage, AI) to be applied to the robots on edge.
The [charter](charter.md) defines the scope and governance of the Robotics Special Interest Group.
## Meetings
* Regular SIG Meeting: [Tuesday at 10:00 UTC+8](https://zoom.us/my/kubeedge) (weekly, starts on 22th, June 2021). [Convert to your timezone](https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/?t=10%3A00%20am&tz=GMT%2B8&).

# SIG Robotics Charter
This charter adheres to the conventions described in [KubeEdge Open Governance](https://github.com/kubeedge/community/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md) and uses the Roles and Organization Management outlined in the governance doc.
## Scope
The SIG Robotics focuses on technical discussion, API definition, reference architecture, implementation in robots, to empower existing robotics ecosystems with KubeEdge, based on the edge-cloud synergy architecture, to improve robot intelligence and development efficiency.
### In scope
#### Areas of Focus
1. Based on KubeEdge, to implement cloud robot platform, to integrate cloud computing technologies(cloud native, AI, storage etc) with robots:
- Support heterogeneous robots, including mobile robots, robotics arm, and many other robot platforms.
- Integrate popular open source robotics technologies with KubeEdge to make the robots development, debug, simulation, deployment and management easier.
- Cooperate with other open source communities, e.g., [ROS](https://www.ros.org/), [Gazebo](http://gazebosim.org/), also with other SIGs like [SIG AI](https://github.com/kubeedge/community/tree/master/sig-ai) and [SIG IoT](https://github.com/kubeedge/community/tree/master/sig-device-iot)
1. Synergy mechanisms research for robotics workloads, **including but not limited to**:
- Cloud environment for robot programming, compilation, simulation, packaging and deployment
- Integration with cloud services like AI training, data storage, monitoring
- Edge-cloud synergy system for robots
- Robot application deployment to robot base on edge
- Fleet ops
- Tele ops
- Cloud service integration like AI(training and inference), data storage, monitoring
- Additional protocol integration like [Micro-XRCE-DDS](https://github.com/eProsima/Micro-XRCE-DDS)
- Provide basic container environment, examples.
- Cooperate with partners to make use cases to promote cloud robot technology.
### Out of scope
- Re-invent existing robotics framework or tooling, e.g., ROS, Gazebo, DDS
- Offer domain/application-specific algorithms, e.g., robot hardware, path planning, SLAM
## Roles and Organization Management
This SIG follows and adheres to the Roles and Organization Management outlined in KubeEdge Open Governance and opts-in to updates and modifications to KubeEdge Open Governance.
### Additional responsibilities of Chairs
- Manage and curate the project boards associated with all sub-projects ahead of every SIG meeting so they may be discussed
- Ensure the agenda is populated 24 hours in advance of the meeting, or the meeting is then cancelled
- Report the SIG status at events and community meetings wherever possible
- Actively promote diversity and inclusion in the SIG
- Uphold the KubeEdge Code of Conduct especially in terms of personal behavior and responsibility
