Exploring the Feasibility of a Multifunctional Software Platform for Cloud Robotics

摘要

Strengthening the infrastructure of the Internet has made global data access easier and so cloud computing is at the forefront. Cloud technologies are used in the many work area, because they provide big data storage capacity, low computational costs and scalable data management. Cloud robotics, a special form of cloud computing, manages mobile robots with the advantages mentioned above, as well as providing a telepathic agreement mechanism among the robots. This work presents the development of a software platform for managing cloud-based operations such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), path planning and optimum task distribution for mobile robots. Demonstration software has also been implemented in the study, which provides a simulation environment that allows testing of the developed system. At the end of the study, the cloud software was tested with the demonstration application and the test results were shown.
