ROSRemote: Using ROS on Cloud to Access Robots Remotely

Abstract

Cloud computing is an area that, nowadays, has been attracting a lot of researches and is expanding not only for processing data, but also for robotics. Cloud robotics is becoming a well-known subject, but it only works in a way to find a faster manner of processing data, which is almost like the idea of cloud computing. In this paper we have created a way to use cloud not only for this kind of operation but, also, to create a framework that helps users to work with ROS in a remote master, giving the possibility to create several applications that may run remotely. Using SpaceBrew, we do not have to worry about finding the robots addresses, which makes this application easier to implement because programmers only have to code as if the application is local.
