Chinese and American robots are miles apart "in the clouds holding hands"

This is the world with different capabilities of the robot how to cooperate, how to expand the capacity of a single robot to complete the task of a single robot can not be completed? This is one of the most important research topics in international robotics-the problem that "cloud robot" should solve. A reporter from China University of Science and Technology yesterday learned that the robot laboratory and the United States Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Laboratory in conjunction with the first experiment of cloud robot success.

"Research has found that similar robots distributed around the world have different capabilities and skills because of the differences in hardware and basic software." "The Chinese head of the joint project, China Artificial Intelligence Center and Director of Robotics Laboratory, Professor Chen Xiaoping, the scientists assume that if different robots and cloud computing platform, from the cloud platform and other robots to acquire relevant knowledge and skills, then we can realize the knowledge sharing and cooperation between robot and human machine. , which greatly expands the capabilities of each robot and lowers the cost of development. Therefore, Cloud robot is regarded as a new important means to break through the bottleneck of large scale application technology of robot.

In a recent joint experiment on Cloud robotics, the China "Kejia" robot in Hefei and the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg (CoBot) robot in the United States, with the help of cloud platform to achieve remote cooperation and resource sharing test. Experiments, the cloud to the two robots to provide a variety of knowledge sources and data sources, "can be good" to the "can treasure" conveying semantic understanding and automatic planning services, "can be good" to "can" transport large data Analysis Services. With the help of these knowledge sharing and remote cooperation, "can be good" and "can treasure" respectively completed their own work can not complete the test task.

"The two sides will further deepen the theoretical foundation of the project, expand the technology system, start the engineering development of cloud robot platform, carry out large-scale experimental testing, and promote the results to spread to other intelligent robots distributed around the world." "The United States head of the joint project, the International Artificial Intelligence Federation president, Carnegie Mellon University professor Wei Rosa said."
