“…By delegating high complexity computational loads to the cloud platform, the robots no longer require high performing onboard equipment, thus greatly reducing the cost of the application of multi-robot systems. As Ermacora et al [68] proposed smart city with cloud robotic service, with the development of cloud computing, big data and other fields, the robotic clouds in SLAM, grasping, navigation and other applications will achieve better performance.…”

1  Abstract-With the development of cloud computing, big data and other emerging technologies, the integration of cloud technology and multi-robot systems makes it possible to design multi-robot systems with improved energy efficiency, high real-time performance and low cost. In order to address the potential of clouds in enhancing robotics for industrial systems, this paper describes the basic concepts and development process of cloud robotics and the overall architecture of these systems. Then, the major driving forces behind the development of cloud robotics are carefully analyzed from the point of view of cloud computing, big data, open source resources, robot cooperative learning, and network connectivity. Subsequently, the key issues and challenges in the current cloud robotic systems are proposed, and some possible solutions are also given. Finally, the potential value of cloud robotic systems in different practical applications is discussed.

“…The main idea within this framework is to convert the robot into a cloud agent, while most of the computation is done on remote servers. Moreover, the cloud robotics platform is also able to guarantee the robustness needed for long-term operativeness in the robotics applications and to expose simple APIs to the final user [17], [18], [19]. A schematic description of the framework used can be see in Figure. The mobile robot communicates with the CRP through a fast wireless internet connection, e.g., resorting on a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular data network.…”

We present a novel robotic telepresence platform composed by a semi-autonomous mobile robot based on a cloud robotics framework, which has been developed with the aim of enabling mobility impaired people to enjoy museums and archaeological sites that would be otherwise inaccessible. Such places, in fact, very often are not equipped to provide access for mobility impaired people, in particular because these aids require dedicated infrastructures that may not fit within the environment and large investments. For this reason, people affected by mobility impairments are often unable to enjoy a part or even the entire museum experience. Solutions allowing mobility impaired people to enjoy museum experience are often based on recorded tours, thus they do not allow active participation of the user. On the contrary, the presented platform is intended to allow users to enjoy completely the museum round. A robot equipped with a camera is placed within the museum and users can control it in order to follow predefined tours or freely explore the museum. Our solution ensures that users see exactly what the robot is seing in real-time. The cloud robotics platform controls both navigation capabilities and teleoperation. Navigation tasks are intended to let the robot reliably follow pre-defined tours, while main concern of teleoperation tasks is to ensure robot safety (e.g., by means of dynamic obstacle detection and avoidance software). Proposed platform has been optimized to maximize user experience.

“…This is likely due to the presence of the citizens, which might naturally be more inclined to share the urban space with human-friendly presences. Aerial platforms-employed both as single units [16,26,28,76] and in combination with other platforms [60], are less common, likely due to the rather recent emergence of drones as reliable platforms, as well as to the regulations currently restricting their usage in public spaces. The ability of robots to perform different actions is analyzed in Fig.…”

“…Publicly available passage and exhibit spaces are overall more common, specifically in outdoor scenarios. Figure 13 reports that few works have some form of robotgovernment interaction, typically in cases in which robots are employed by the public administration as a support for security or maintenance [16,[26][27][28]79,81,107]. Figure 14 shows that robots mainly acquire and process data from the city, while dissemination (being more timeconsuming) is less common [16,17,79,81,107], and mostly employed when teams of robots are involved.…”

The goal of this work is to describe how robots interact with complex city environments, and to identify the main characteristics of an emerging field that we call Robot-City Interaction (RCI). Given the central role recently gained by modern cities as use cases for the deployment of advanced technologies, and the advancements achieved in the robotics field in recent years, we assume that there is an increasing interest both in integrating robots in urban ecosystems, and in studying how they can interact and benefit from each others. Therefore, our challenge becomes to verify the emergence of such area, to assess its current state and to identify the main characteristics, core themes and research challenges associated with it. This is achieved by reviewing a preliminary body of work contributing to this area, which we classify and analyze according to an analytical framework including a set of key dimensions for the area of RCI. Such review not only serves as a preliminary state-of-the-art in the area, but also allows us to identify the main characteristics of RCI and its research landscape.
