This presentation explores a paradigm shift in Kubernetes' role, moving beyond container orchestration to the management of intelligent entities. As robots evolve into sophisticated, AI-driven collaborators, traditional management approaches falter. This talk introduces a novel framework that reimagines Kubernetes pods as persistent agents representing individual robotic entities.

The session delves into the technical details of this approach: utilizing Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to model entity types, manage individual entities, and control their interactions within groups. It highlights the use of standardized endpoints for interoperability, ensuring seamless communication between diverse robotic platforms. The solution's emphasis on decentralization, security, and stateful management through Kubernetes' core strengths is underscored.
