Integrating Cloud Services in Behaviour Programming for Autonomous Robots

Abstract

This paper introduces CLEPTA, an extension to the PROFETA robotic programming framework for the integration of cloud services in developing the software for autonomous robots. CLEPTA provides a set of basic classes, together with a software architecture, which helps the programmer in specifying the invocation of cloud services in the programs handling robot’s behaviour; such a feature allows designers (i) to execute computation-intensive algorithms and (ii) to include, in robot’s behaviour, additional features made available in the Cloud.
