The rise of cloud robotics: How the cloud is transforming robotic landscape By Aditya Abeysinghe   Robots come in different forms based on the place, purpose and the level of automation they are used. They have been used both for legitimate and fraudulent activities, for both commercial and government purposes, as hardware and software and as a replacement for humans. However, with new models such as computer vision, computational thinking and processing of large data, i.e. big data, have been coupled with robotic functions, a new question has arisen: How can a robot process all these data and carry out its tasks without losing its “focus”? Several solutions have been proposed for this question and a feasible approach for robots of many forms is to use cloud services for heavy computations. Hence, within the past few years “cloud robotics” or use of cloud resources for robotics has been a new ...
