Architecture and Framework for Interfacing Cloud-Enabled Robots

Abstract

The integration of robot activities with cloud computing and the internet of things is essential to Industry 4.0 implementation. In the chapter, the fundamental principles of cloud computing and integrated robotics are explained. Emergence, characteristics, service delivery models, and computing models of robot-cloud computing principles have been discussed. Classical principles of service-oriented architecture, service models, web services, gSOAP, robotic operating systems, and challenges of robot cloud computing fields were illustrated. The main objective of this chapter is to illustrate cloud computing architecture frameworks. The architecture, platform, setup, and implementation principles of fixed and variable-length strings for cloud robotic frameworks have been briefly illustrated.
