Cloud robotics allows you to deploy robotics applications using cloud computing, cloud storage, communication, and other cloud technologies. By storing the decision-making component (“brain”) in the cloud, the robots can be low-cost and lightweight with only low-level controls on-board. The robot can use the brain to access large databases with task planners, environment models, processing and communication capabilities, and more.

Cloud robotics enables robots to access:

• Knowledge bases such as updated libraries of images and maps
• Parallel computing on demand for statistical modeling and analysis, motion and task planning, and robot learning
• Communication resources for robots to share information such as trajectories, control policies, and outcomes
• A development environment for engineers including simulation platforms, analysis and visualization tools, training datasets, and benchmarks

Cloud robotics is being used in self-driving cars, medical robots, personal and industrial robots, and other autonomous applications. A self-driving car with cloud capabilities can access maps and environment models and integrate them with live-streamed sensor data to precisely locate its position and avoid collisions. The data obtained on-the-go can also be shared with other connected cars via wireless cloud connectivity.

bat365 Cloud provides instant access to MATLAB^® and other products and services. With MATLAB Online™, you can quickly run your algorithms and verify the results in a web browser. You can use MATLAB^® on virtual machines in Amazon Web Services (AWS),  Microsoft Azure^®, and public cloud environments and take the advantage of high-performance GPUs.

Using MATLAB Parallel Server™, you can run MATLAB^® programs and Simulink^® simulations on clouds and clusters such as Amazon EC2. You can also integrate Simulink with third-party visualization platforms running on the cloud to run your algorithms in a photorealistic 3D environment. For example, Simulink^® can be integrated with Unreal Engine^® running on the cloud. You can use bat365 published reference architectures for a head start.
