A review on cloud robotics based frameworks to solve simultaneous localization and mapping (slam) problem
This is an incremental review paper summarizing frameworks for researchers and practitioners in robotics, without introducing novel solutions.
The paper reviews existing cloud robotics frameworks like DAvinCi, Rapyuta, and C2TAM that address the computational challenges of the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem by offloading tasks to the cloud, but does not present new results or numbers.
Cloud Robotics is one of the emerging area of robotics. It has created a lot of attention due to its direct practical implications on Robotics. In Cloud Robotics, the concept of cloud computing is used to offload computational extensive jobs of the robots to the cloud. Apart from this, additional functionalities can also be offered on run to the robots on demand. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is one of the computational intensive algorithm in robotics used by robots for navigation and map building in an unknown environment. Several Cloud based frameworks are proposed specifically to address the problem of SLAM, DAvinCi, Rapyuta and C2TAM are some of those framework. In this paper, we presented a detailed review of all these framework implementation for SLAM problem.
