Cloud Platform Could Lead to Faster, Smarter Robots
Researchers of five European universities have developed a cloud-computing program that allows robots connected to the Internet direct access to the powerful computational, storage and communications infrastructure of modern data centers for robotics tasks and robot learning, Science Daily reports.
With the development of the RoboEarth Cloud Engine, the team continues to create an “Internet for robots,” the article says. The new platform extends earlier work on allowing robots to share knowledge with other robots, which speeds up learning and adaptation in complex tasks.
