Time line of Cloud Robotics

A center of excellence for quality education and research

Introduction

Robotics and Automation - one of the most prominent research


areas of 21st century

Enormous Demand of Service Robots in Industry and Homes


has led to an increased interest in the field.

Cloud Extensive Resources which are accessible over the


Intertnet (Network) can provide significant benefits to Robots
and Automation.

Traditional Approach
Traditional

Robotics and Automation System operate


independently using onboard computation , memory and
programming.

Limitation of Resources Devices constrained by the resource


available at hand.

Robots have to perform Data or Computationally Intensive


Tasks e.g., Machine Vision/Perception , Sensor Data Gathering.

What if these systems are not constrained by the limitation of


Onboard resource?

Cloud Robotics floats into the views.

Cloud Robotics

Idea is simple - What if a Robot can rely on Network to handle


its Data and Computational Needs ?

Cloud Robot perform their operations with either Data or Code


from a network.

Spread of sensing, computation, and memory of the single


system onto the network.

Network Latency and Access issues necessitates that some


capacity for computation is to be maintained onboard.

Google Driverless Car


A good representative example of Cloud Robotics/Automation
Application.

Localizing the location of car for better driving avoid collisions


and reach destination in a suitable time.

Onboard Resources LiDAR System maps the local


environment.

Cloud Resources - Local images combined with Satellite Maps,


Google StreetView and other CrowdSource resources Produce
models that allow the car to drive itself.

Timeline of Cloud Robotics


Concept of Networked Robotics has been around .
Proprietary protocols were put forward by a number of vendors.
One of the famous General Motors Manufacturing Automation
Protocol (MAP).

The advent of World Wide Web, HTTP, and IP saw a shift


towards a common standard.

Timeline of Cloud Robotics


1994 - Ken Goldberg presented the first remotely connected
Robot. A simple industrial robot was controlled remotely via
Broswer based GUI.

Mid and Late 1990s Research into User Interfaces and


Robustness led to the field of Networked Robotics.

1997 M. Inaba Remote Brained Robots Explored the


advanteages Remote Control of Robots.

Timeline of Cloud Robotics


Will complete the slides on return Sir. Have to stay for extended
time at home due to an emergency.

Nauman worked into ROC on Lego Mindstorm. He will present


his finding to you.
