Abstract

Cloud Robotics (CR) is a rising field of robotics rooted in cloud computing, cloud storage, and other Internet technologies centered around the benefits of converged infrastructure and shared services. It allows robots to benefit from the powerful computational, storage, and communications resources of modern data centers. In addition, it removes overheads for maintenance and updates, and reduces dependence on custom middleware. This chapter reviews the concept of cloud-enabled robotics with some of the most applications related to it. Also, it explores the trends of robotic technology in Industry 4.0. Since the advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), economies around the world have ground dramatically as companies can compete on a global scale. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will be based on cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and Internet of Services.
