1. A method comprising: receiving a first request for a first robot to perform a task at a location, wherein the first robot includes a mechanical actuator and at least one sensor; processing the first request along a processing route through a first node and a subsequent second node of a plurality of nodes of a cloud computing system to identify environmental information related to the location where the task is to be performed from the second node of the plurality of nodes, wherein the second node is assigned to store the environmental information; selecting a given node upstream from the second node along the processing route, wherein the given node includes the first node; associating the environmental information with the first node of the plurality of nodes; associating the first node with the processing route so that the environmental information can be accessed earlier in the processing route for a subsequent command to perform a subsequent task at the location; receiving a second request for a second robot to perform a given task at the location; and processing the second request along the processing route through the plurality of nodes of the cloud computing system to identify the environmental information related to the location where the given task is to be performed from the first node of the plurality of nodes.
