Welcome to XBotCloud
XBotCloud is a recently developed component of the XBot framework. It enables users and robots to exploit the computational resources of the cloud allowing the execution of services with low, soft or hard Real-Time execution/communication performance.
The latest is ensured thanks to the functionality provided by the XBotCore Real-Time cross-robot software component of the XBot framework.

Security |
XBotCloud addresses one of the main challenges related with cloud robotics: the security. To avoid remote attack it takes advantage of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Security and it uses an internal VPN Network to handle the connectivity between the robot and the cloud server.
Tasks Pipeline
XBotCloud functionalities are demonstrated in realistic tasks involving pipelines that mix the execution of cloud services with moderate execution time constraints and Real-Time modules running on the robot local control unit.
|
Validation
XBotCloud performance and cross-robot flexibility are currently validated with the employment of two different robotic platforms: the WALK-MAN humanoid and the CENTAURO upper body.
