Open CLORO: An Open Testbed for Cloud Robotics

Testbed Facilities for IoT and Wireless Sensor Networks: A Systematic Review

“…Figure 2 summarizes the main article publication years for testbed facilities, as visible, there are no major trends in the evaluated 10 year period, except for the peak around 2015 and 2016 and following dip at 2017 and 2018, but after that, for two consecutive years, the publication of articles about new testbed facilities continues at a steady pace.

Cloud Robotics for Industry 4.0 - A Literature Review

“…This platform contains a robotic agent, multiple sensors, and a cloud platform using MYSQL to store all the climate data and robotic communication network [42]. Portaluri et al propose an open testbed for Cloud robotics (Open Cloro) [43] and Do Nascimento et al present the evolution of a software platform for experimentation of mobile robotics [44].…”

“…Most of the existing work on testing platforms for robotic applications focus on Cloud robotics testbeds or platforms [1,3,4,[9][10][11]. In [11], the authors indicate the feasibility and challenges of a real world Cloud robotics implementation over Cloud testbed infrastructure.…”

“…In [11], the authors indicate the feasibility and challenges of a real world Cloud robotics implementation over Cloud testbed infrastructure. Besides, [4] suggests a Cloud robotics testbed that can be effective for developing not only robot-related experiments, but also network applications. By providing a Cloud robotics testbed for mobile robots, VC-bots [1] tries to address some important factors such as mobility, traffic scenario, protocol, cloud resources and localization awareness.…”
