The data rate is very high for wifi, basically it reduces the frame rate and hence increases the delay in feedback. Putting the processor at the end of the actuator or sensor arm puts large stresses and vibrations on the electronics, I'd avoid it. Industrial and armoured USB cabling exist, including 360 degree couplers[1], but obviously it is specialised. Industrial Ethernet is better (e.g. GigE Vision) from an integration pov.
