The actions language as a programming framework for cloud robotics applications

Abstract

In past few years, the cloud computing paradigm is gaining influence on robotics field very rapidly. As the mobile robotics can obtain huge benefits from cloud computing paradigm, many robotic laboratories around the world conduct researches in this area. As a result, new frameworks and tools are emerging. In our early works, we had developed the prototypes for some cloud robotics services. As well, we have our own scripting language for programming (and modeling) robotics behavior - Actions Language. The concepts used in this language are close enough to the cloud computing paradigm. In this paper, we give brief descriptions and state of researches for cloud robotics and special robotic languages. After that, we describe and investigate our approach for programming robotics behavior using cloud services.
