Edge devices and remote services interfacing framework and related systems and methods

Abstract

Systems and methods for operably coupling one or more edge devices to one or more remote components are disclosed herein. In some implementations, the system comprises an edge platform interface (EPI) framework that includes an edge component, a linking component, and a remote component. The edge component is communicatively coupled to the remote component through the edge and remote-portions of the linking component. The edge component can be configured to receive data from one or more onboard sensors, store the sensor data in corresponding data structures, and append metadata to each of the corresponding data structures. The metadata can include prioritization elements, each of which includes an assigned value that is specific to the sensor data in the corresponding data structures. The edge component can then identify communication constraints, prioritize the sensor data, pick candidate data, and upload the candidate data through the edge-portion of the linking component.
