Robot-as-a-Service: from Cloud to Peering Technologies

Abstract

This article is devoted to the historical overview of the Robot-as-a-Service concept. Several major scientific publications on the development of Robot-as-a-Service systems based on a service-oriented paradigm are considered. Much attention is paid to the analysis of a centralized approach in the development using cloud computing services and the search for the limitations of this approach. As a result, general conclusions on the reviewed publications are given, as well as the authors’ own vision of Robot-as-a-Service systems based on the concept of robot economics.
