Purpose
• supporting daily activity• especially for the elderly and the disabled
3
Outline
• Introduction• Cloud Networked Robotics• Challenges• Life Support Robot Technology project
4
Introduction
• With the rapid growth of the Internet and the spread of smartphones, our lifestyles are greatly changing.
• Such slow but stable change for the forthcoming aged society requires further changes that cannot be fulfilled by technology enhancement in cyberspace.
• Physical supports in the real world, which can only be acted upon by such new devices as robots, are emergently required.
5
Introduction
• Even though improving reusability and mutual connectivity, they remain insufficient for thoroughly supporting daily activities.
• As such, the activities of our daily life consist of sequences of different tasks performed in different contexts.
• Complexity, Cost
6
Networked Robot
• A ‘networked robot’ is a robotic device connected to a communications network such as the Internet or LAN. The network could be wired or wireless, and based on any of a variety of protocols such as TCP, UDP, or 802.11
7
Cloud Networked Robotics
• Cloud Networked Robotics, which abstracts robotic functionalities and provides a means for utilizing them.
• These “robots” are logically gathered to form a cloud of robots by networking to realize an integrated system that provides seamless support in daily activities using the available resources on demand

Cloud Computing
• The technologies of web services and serviceoriented architecture (SOA), which form the technical foundation of cloud computing, have also been applied to robotic technologies in three ways.
10
Cloud Computing
• One is the utilization of computational resources for enhancing the abilities of robots on cloud servers
• Knowledge sharing and the exchange of semantic information.
• Another approach utilizes robotic resources as a cloud to solve the issue of continuous support in robotic services.
11
Robots
• Visible types are physically embodied agents with a physical actuation facility
• Virtual types appear on the screens of mobile information devices as agents for communicating with users
• Unconscious types are mainly deployed in environments for sensing and form ambient intelligence
12
Challenges
• Combining stand-alone robots or multi-robot systems , networked robots and Cloud computing are not sufficient for continuously supporting daily activities.
13
Challenges
• Multi-Robot Management• Multi-Area Management• User Attribute Management• Service Coordination Management
14
Life Support Robot Technology
• It aims at the development of life support robots with high safety, reliability, and adaptability to enable robots to coexist with people in human living environments.
• Six robotic services : remote listening support service, community formation service, healthcare service, shopping support service, customer attracting service, and touring support service.
15
Life Support Robot Technology
• In the project, the common functionalities described in the previous section are implemented as a common infrastructure system called the Ubiquitous Network Robot Platform
16
UNR-PF
• UNR-PF itself is composed of two platform layers: a local platform (LPF) and a global platform (GPF)
• The database functions consist of robot, map, user, and operator registries, and service cues.
• The management functions consist of state, resource, and message managers.

Conclusion
• This article proposed the concept of Cloud Networked Robotics, which targets continuous support of daily activities that cannot be satisfied by stand-alone robotic services or by networked robotic services
• Many other aspects must be studied,including scalability and dependability
• Moreover, cloud networked robot systems will likely encounter security and ethical issues
