Abstract
This paper proposed a Fully Cloud-based Modular (FCM) Robot technology that enables almost all of the business logic program of the home service robot running on the cloud and the robot execute the order locally on control aspects. Moreover, its modular feature can reduce the cost of the robot and, meanwhile, provide a flexibility of customization, upgrades, maintaining. The traditional home service robot often uses cloud computing algorithms and cloudDB, but the basic calculations have been solved locally, which leads to a condition that the robot have to carry many additional facilities. Some concepts of robotic intelligence system have been put forward in the paper including: integrating single-board computers and microcontrollers as the distributed computing unit on the robot, a cloud server structure for FCM robot, finite-state machines and network protocol for solving common problems caused by fully depending on the cloud service. Finally, we built a home service robot following the concept of FCM technology. Comparing with traditional service robots, several experiments are conducted to verify the performance of the FCM technology.
