1. A robotic device control system, comprising:
a radio base station for wireless communication with a robotic device;
a beamforming controller coupled or integral to the radio base station for controlling beamforming between the radio base station and the robotic device; and
a robotic device controller comprised in a cloud-computing environment, wherein the robotic device controller is coupled to the beamforming controller comprised in a wireless access network, wherein the robotic device controller is configured to control the robotic device via the radio base station, and wherein the robotic device controller comprised in the cloud-computing environment sends instruction to the beamforming controller comprised in the wireless access network for controlling the beamforming between the radio base station and the robotic device, the instruction is sent via the wireless access network;
wherein the robotic device control system is configured to provide the instruction, derived by the robotic device control system based on radio beam propagation information of the wireless communication between the radio base station and the robotic device, to the beamforming controller for controlling beamforming between the radio base station and the robotic device, and wherein the robotic device control system is configured to derive the radio beam propagation information based on a three-dimensional map of an area coverable by beams of the radio base station.
