Survey on Cloud Robotics and Robot Operating System

Abstract

The paper proposes cloud robotics which intends five parts which are for software architecture, trends and challenges, design based on a web technology, cloud computing platforms and cloud robotics in practical smart city applications. Software architecture involves lots of different cloud technologies like cloud storage and shared services for robotics for Robot Operating System. There are lots of trends in cloud robotics as it uses cloud technologies for robotics. The use of the cloud for automation brings some largely ameliorating the performance of robotics. Besides, the trends, there are some challenges in cloud robotics. Robot Operating System has been a standard tool in the design for cloud robotics. It always runs at the on-board computer but some resources of CPU do not allow the ability of robotics. In this problem, a good solution is to transfer the task to the cloud. Hence, the design of a cloud robotics middleware is based on web technology. Robotics with cloud computing gives lots of research scopes and research fields. In Smart City Applications, Real-Time Cloud Robotics is present. Real Time Cloud Robotics has emerged as an efficient computing means in data processing applications. By this we introduce CR20 cloud robotics platform that uses real time stream technology virtually to connect to different devices.
