This document discusses using cloud computing for mobile robots. It describes how cloud computing allows robots to rely on shared computing resources over the internet rather than local hardware. This enables robots to benefit from powerful data center resources for storage, processing and communication. The document outlines several benefits of cloud robotics, including improved communication between robots and ability to share knowledge. It proposes a system where robots can retrieve required data from the cloud or nearby robots to complete tasks without human intervention.
