Researchers from Tsinghua University and partner institutions propose a joint mobility control and MEC offloading scheme for hybrid satellite-terrestrial-network-enabled robots. Their dual-agent Q-learning approach significantly reduces the average task completion time by approximately 16% compared to conventional offloading, by actively adjusting robot velocity based on network conditions and offloading needs.

Key insights

  • Actively controlling robot mobility, specifically velocity, can be jointly optimized with MEC offloading to significantly improve performance in hybrid satellite-terrestrial networks.
  • The NP-hard problem of minimizing average task completion time can be effectively addressed by decomposing it via Lyapunov optimization and applying a dual-agent reinforcement learning algorithm.
  • A successful scheme balances the trade-offs between minimizing task completion time and ensuring the robot completes its physical journey within a reasonable time.
