Energy-efficient computation offloading using hybrid GA with PSO in internet of robotic things environment

Abstract

The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) is an integration between autonomous robots and the Internet of Things (IoT) based on smart connectivity. It's critical to have intelligent connectivity and excellent communication for IoRT integration with digital platforms in order to maintain real-time engagement based on efficient consumer power in new-generation IoRT apps. The proposed model will be utilized to determine the optimal way of task offloading for IoRT devices for reducing the amount of energy consumed in IoRT environment and achieving the task deadline constraints. The approach is implemented based on fog computing to reduce the communication overhead between edge devices and the cloud. To validate the efficacy of the proposed schema, an extensive statistical simulation was conducted and compared to other related works. The proposed schema is evaluated against the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Salp Swarm Algorithm to confirm its effectiveness. After 200 iterations, our proposed schema was found to be the most effective in reducing energy, achieving a reduction of 22.85%. This was followed closely by GA and ABC, which achieved reductions of 21.5%. ALO, WOA, PSO, and GWO were found to be less effective, achieving energy reductions of 19.94%, 17.21%, 16.35%, and 11.71%, respectively. The current analytical results prove the effectiveness of the suggested energy consumption optimization strategy. The experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested schema reduces the energy consumption of task requests more effectively than the current technological advances.
