Cloud robotics has emerged as a transformative field that extends the capabilities of autonomous robots by integrating cloud computing, distributed intelligence, artificial intelligence, and networked communication. Cloud Robotics for Intelligent Autonomous Systems provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, architectures, and engineering concepts that enable robots to leverage cloud-based resources for enhanced perception, decision-making, learning, and collaborative operation. As autonomous systems become increasingly connected, cloud robotics offers scalable computational resources that support advanced applications across industrial automation, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, transportation, and smart infrastructure.

The book explores the foundations of cloud robotics by examining the interaction between robotic platforms, cloud services, communication networks, edge computing, and distributed computing environments. Readers are introduced to the essential concepts of robotic architectures, cloud infrastructure, data sharing, computational offloading, remote processing, and resource management that enable intelligent autonomous systems to perform complex tasks beyond the limitations of onboard computing. The discussion emphasizes how cloud-enabled robots can access shared knowledge, large-scale data processing, and collaborative learning while maintaining operational efficiency in dynamic environments.

A significant focus is placed on intelligent autonomous systems and the technologies that support adaptive robotic behavior. The text discusses artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, sensor fusion, localization, navigation, path planning, and autonomous decision-making within cloud-connected robotic ecosystems. It also introduces the principles of distributed robotic intelligence, multi-robot coordination, real-time communication, and cloud-assisted control strategies, helping readers understand how networked systems improve scalability, flexibility, and operational performance.

The book further examines communication technologies and cybersecurity considerations associated with cloud-enabled robotics. Topics including Internet of Things (IoT) integration, wireless communication, edge computing, latency management, data security, privacy protection, fault tolerance, reliability, and system resilience are presented within the broader context of modern robotic engineering. These discussions illustrate how cloud computing complements onboard intelligence while supporting secure and efficient robotic operation across diverse applications.

Designed for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, robotics engineers, computer scientists, automation professionals, educators, and technology practitioners, this volume serves as both an academic reference and a practical introduction to cloud robotics. The material emphasizes broadly applicable engineering principles rather than vendor-specific cloud platforms or proprietary software, making it relevant for university courses, research laboratories, and industrial applications alike.

As Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, intelligent warehouses, healthcare robotics, and service automation continue to expand, cloud robotics is becoming an increasingly important component of next-generation intelligent systems. Cloud Robotics for Intelligent Autonomous Systems provides readers with a structured understanding of the engineering concepts that support connected robotic platforms, distributed intelligence, and cloud-assisted autonomy. Optimized for engineering students, academic libraries, universities, robotics researchers, and industry professionals, this book offers a valuable resource for exploring cloud robotics, intelligent autonomous systems, distributed computing, and advanced robotic technologies in modern engineering.

More Information

Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to CreativeCenters, Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
