Cloud Computing Technology and Its Application in Robot Control

Abstract

In recent years, with the development of science and technology, new technologies have emerged continuously, such as cloud computing, big data, etc., and cloud computing technology has been used in robot research, making the designed robot have high real-time performance and high energy efficiency, low cost and a series of advantages. Among robot technologies, controlling robots is one of the key technologies. One of the classical problems in the field of robots is the synchronous map construction and positioning (SLAM) problem. This problem is a typical computationally intensive task. In traditional robots, the implementation method is to rely on the robot’s local computing resources to calculate and solve in real time. The disadvantages of this method are slow speed, low precision, and very large computational overhead. This paper aims at the current research status, based on the robot architecture and the “Software as a Service” (SaaS) idea in cloud computing, proposes a SLAM service framework based on cloud computing, and studies the control in the robot, and finally the development of cloud computing and robotics is looking into the future.
