Cloud Robot with Real-Time Face Recognition Ability

Abstract

This paper presents a cloud robot system with real-time face recognition ability. Cloud robot systems which support face recognition have been use for surveillance. In order to recognize a face in real time, the images captured by camera have to be stored and then processed by face recognition algorithm. Benefit from cloud computing technology, robot can offload computational tasks to cloud server which composes of several computational units (PCs) and is capable of executing distributed tasks. Our experimental results demonstrate that as a implementation of cloud robotics system, the proposed cloud robot is capable of doing real-time face recognition.
