Robotics cloud, which is the integration of cloud computing technology in robots, has gained importance globally. End users have begun to recognize the benefits of this new concept, which uses the Internet to increase the capacity of a robot, mainly delegating the computational part and providing on-demand services. Because this idea is bound to make you more productive and efficient, the different requirements of end-users of the future robots will be satisfied without the quality of service is compromised.

New analysis from Frost Sullivan, titled Innovations in Cloud Robotics, notes that the cloud robotics will lead to the development of intelligent robots that will have greater computational efficiency and consume less energy. These features will drive down production costs, through reduced hardware, and will result in reduced emissions.

The innovations in the field of cloud robotics have had considerable momentum, thanks to the initiatives of large companies such as Google and IBM and the efforts of several research institutions active in numerous projects around the world. The need to develop robots are characterized by high performance and affordability has been the focus of research activities.

Considering the widespread use of cloud computing technology and smartphones and tablets, the consumer robotics will witness a strong growth market. In addition, the cloud robotics will be a catalyst for the birth of a commercial market for consumer robotics.

The main challenge for market participants, however, is the high dependence of the cloud robotics as an active Internet connection to process any function. In areas with limited or no connectivity, robots that rely on cloud they are unable to function effectively and to respond promptly in case of critical situations.

The convergence of the cloud robotics with Big Data, context-aware computing and ubiquitous wireless high-speed networks, together with the use of advanced wireless sensors, could solve the problems of access and the slow response times.
