A Smart Cloud Robotic System Based on Cloud Computing Services

Abstract

In this paper, we present a smart service robotic system based on cloud computing services. The design and implementation of infrastructure, computation components and communication components are introduced. The proposed system can alleviate the complex computation and storage load of robots to cloud and provide various services to the robots. The computation components can dynamically allocate resources to the robots. The communication components allow easy access of the robots and provide flexible resource management. Furthermore, we modeled the task-scheduling problem and proposed a max-heaps algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm minimized the overall task costs.
