Demo: A robot-in-residence for data center thermal monitoring and energy efficiency management
Kevin Deland, Jonathan Lenchner, John Nelson, Jonathan H. Connell, James Thoensen, Jeffrey O. Kephart · 2011
We will demonstrate a robot for data center energy management, in action, on a simulated data center floor. We shall highlight the robot's navigation, tile and obstacle classification, event scheduling and preemption capabilities, along with its ability to discover charging docks, and successfully dock with extreme precision. We shall also show simulations on real data center layouts evincing navigational efficiency gains obtained by our latest heuristic enhancements.
