Challenges and solutions in the integration of robotic systems into existing infrastructure
Pavel Sidorov , Field engineer at Swisslog healthcare, Irvine, CA, USAAbstract
This article examines the features, challenges, and potential solutions associated with the integration of robotic systems into existing infrastructure. The relevance of this topic is driven by the widespread implementation of robotics across various sectors, including industry, logistics, agriculture, and other fields. The objective of this study is to systematize existing approaches and perspectives on integration processes, analyze key contradictions in scientific literature, and identify underexplored aspects that hinder the effective deployment of these technologies.
Discrepancies in the literature are linked to the lack of standardization in system architectures, limited real-world validation of control algorithms, and insufficient attention to legal considerations. It is concluded that successful integration requires a systematic approach encompassing standardization, the development of advanced control algorithms, adaptation of cloud technologies, and the mandatory consideration of social factors.
The author's contribution lies in structuring modern trends in integration strategies, including the shift towards modularity, scalability, active use of artificial intelligence, standardization, cloud-based solutions, and hybrid interaction systems. Additionally, research gaps are identified. The presented findings will be valuable for developers of robotic solutions, automation researchers, and enterprise managers planning the implementation of robotic systems.
