  1. Cloud Networked Robotics Speaker: Kai-Wei Ping Advisor: Prof Dr. Ho-Ting Wu 2013/04/08

  2. Purpose • supporting daily activity • especially for the elderly and the disabled

  3. Outline • Introduction • Cloud Networked Robotics • Challenges • Life Support Robot Technology project

  4. Introduction • With the rapid growth of the Internet and the spread of smartphones, our lifestyles are greatly changing. • Such slow but stable change for the forthcoming aged society requires further changes that cannot be fulfilled by technology enhancement in cyberspace. • Physical supports in the real world, which can only be acted upon by such new devices as robots, are emergently required.

  5. Introduction • Even though improving reusability and mutual connectivity, they remain insufficient for thoroughly supporting daily activities. • As such, the activities of our daily life consist of sequences of different tasks performed in different contexts. • Complexity, Cost

  6. Networked Robot • A ‘networked robot’ is a robotic device connected to a communications network such as the Internet or LAN. The network could be wired or wireless, and based on any of a variety of protocols such as TCP, UDP, or 802.11

  7. Cloud Networked Robotics • Cloud Networked Robotics, which abstracts robotic functionalities and provides a means for utilizing them. • These “robots” are logically gathered to form a cloud of robots by networking to realize an integrated system that provides seamless support in daily activities using the available resources on demand

  8. Cloud Networked Robotics

  9. Cloud Computing • The technologies of web services and serviceorientedarchitecture (SOA), which form the technical foundation of cloud computing, have also been applied to robotic technologies in three ways.

  10. Cloud Computing • One is the utilization of computational resources for enhancing the abilities of robots on cloud servers • Knowledge sharing and the exchange of semantic information. • Another approach utilizes robotic resources as a cloud to solve the issue of continuous support in robotic services.

  11. Robots • Visible types are physically embodied agents with a physical actuation facility • Virtual types appear on the screens of mobile information devices as agents for communicating with users • Unconscious types are mainly deployed in environments for sensing and form ambient intelligence

  12. Challenges • Combining stand-alone robots or multi-robot systems , networked robots and Cloud computing are not sufficient for continuously supporting daily activities.

  13. Challenges • Multi-Robot Management • Multi-Area Management • User Attribute Management • Service Coordination Management

  14. Life Support Robot Technology • It aims at the development of life support robots with high safety, reliability, and adaptability to enable robots to coexist with people in human living environments. • Six robotic services：remote listening support service, community formation service, healthcare service, shopping support service, customer attracting service, and touring support service.

  15. Life Support Robot Technology • In the project, the common functionalities described in the previous section are implemented as a common infrastructure system called the Ubiquitous Network Robot Platform

  16. UNR-PF • UNR-PF itself is composed of two platform layers: a local platform (LPF) and a global platform (GPF) • The database functions consist of robot, map, user, and operator registries, and service cues. • The management functions consist of state, resource, and message managers.

  17. Case Study

  18. Field Testing

  19. Conclusion • This article proposed the concept of Cloud Networked Robotics, which targets continuous support of daily activities that cannot be satisfied by stand-alone robotic services or by networked robotic services • Many other aspects must be studied,includingscalability and dependability • Moreover, cloud networked robot systems will likely encounter security and ethical issues
