Abstract
Cloud Robotics was born from the merger of service robotics and cloud technologies. It allows robots to benefit from the powerful computational, storage, and communications resources of modern data centres. Cloud robotics allows robots to take advantage of the rapid increase in data transfer rates to offload tasks without hard real time requirements. Cloud Robotics has rapidly gained momentum with initiatives by companies such as Google, Willow Garage and Gostai as well as more than a dozen active research projects around the world. The presentation summarizes the main idea, the definition, the cloud model composed of essential characteristics, service models and deployment models, planning task execution and beyond. Finally some cloud robotics projects are discussed.

Summary
Cloud Robotics (CR) was born from the merger of cloud technologies and service robotics [1], which was preceded by a change in paradigm in both domains [2]. It allows robots to benefit from the powerful computational, storage, and communications resources of modern data centres. Cloud robotics allows robots to take advantage of the rapid increase in data transfer rates to offload tasks without hard real time requirements. In 2011, at the Google I/O developer Conference, Google and Willow Garage introduced their theory and foreseen application of Cloud Robotics [4]. Cloud Robotics is currently driving interest in both academia and industry, combines robot technology with network and Cloud-computing infrastructure that connects amount of robots, sensors, portable devices and most important a data-centre (Figure 1). Driven by advances in mobile communication technologies, more and more robotics applications can be executed in the cloud [5]
