RobotOps: Running a Robot Fleet
DevOps for physical machines — fleet telemetry and observability, OTA updates, CI/CD for robot software, incident response, predictive maintenance, and the interop standards that keep mixed fleets running.
RobotOps Explained: Applying DevOps Discipline to Physical Robot Fleets
RobotOps applies DevOps discipline to physical robot fleets. What it is, why running a fleet differs from building one robot, plus the ops stack and real uptime numbers.
