Robotics History
1920s~ : Robots in fictions.

- ―Robot‖ first appeared in a play R.U.R.

1920s~ 1950s: Remotely controlled robots(In Exhibitions).

1960s~: Industrial robot in assemble line.

1970s~: Programmable universal robots.

1980s~: Humanoid

2010~: Cloud Robotics

Swarm Robotics
Swarm robotics is a new approach to the coordination of
multi-robot systems which consist of large numbers of mostly
simple physical robots.




                            10
Semantics Web
  Semantically structured knowledge/data

  International standard

  Resource Description Framework

  Web Ontology Language

  Semantics Search: Higher accuracy

i.e. Wolfram|Alpha, Goolge semantics search

Agent Oriented Programming
―Agent- encapsulated computer system, situated in some
environment, and capable of flexible autonomous action in
that environment in order to meet its design objectives‖
(Wooldridge)

Motivation
  Why Cloud Robotics

 Enable Cheaper, lighter, ―smarter‖ robots

 Create ―Shared knowledgebase‖ for robots

   - Information of the ―world‖/ ‖ Environment‖

   - Experience record, Behavior Planning, Data mining,

    Learning, Dynamic(Updatable) Skills

 Easier Development
