Towards secured cloud-based robotic services

A Comprehensive Survey of Recent Trends in Cloud Robotics Architectures and Applications

“…Architecture [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Development of software Execution and round-trip communication architecture for heterogeneous time for SLAM and robotic manipulation robots to share sensor tasks. data between processing nodes for computationally intense algorithms.…”

“…Many recent works in the cloud robotics literature [8,12,13,19,20] investigate quality-of-service (QoS)-aware and other intelligent techniques for efficient work flow allocation, resource allocation and computational offloading to the cloud for real-time execution. In [18], Nandhini et al proposed a secured framework that provides authentication and key agreement using Elliptic Curve Crytptography (ECC) for accessing the robotic services that are hosted in the cloud. In order to incorporate cloud-based services into the daily lives of humans, Du et al [10] proposed the concept of 'Robot cloud' which was developed by using the popular Google App Engine and by adopting the service-oriented architecture (SOA) to augment the functional modules in the Robot Cloud to become more flexible, extensible and reusable.…”

“…In this regard, researchers have used the term cryptorobotics as a unification of cyber-security and robotics [106]. To resolve the security and privacy threats associated with cloud robotics, proper authentication techniques with a layered encryption mechanism are currently used for an entity to access cloud data and services [18]. In the future, more effective integrated verification algorithms should be designed to ensure the security and privacy of cloud-based robotic systems.…”

A Plug and Play Transparent Communication Layer for Cloud Robotics Architectures

“…Beyond these specific applications, several works focus on the definition and implementation of the architecture for communication and interaction between physical robots and virtual resources hosted on cloud infrastructure [10][11][12][13][14]. Different solutions have been provided, but the problem of bi-directional communication among agents (i.e., from a user interface to a mobile robot platform and vice-versa) on different networks is often not addressed or underestimated.…”

“…QoS criteria are then defined and evaluated, without describing the operational method for providing connections among cloud and robot resources. In [13], cloud robotics is claimed as "one of the most promising applications in the robotics world", but its growth is still below expectations due to the risks associated with security and privacy. Therefore, the paper focuses on security for cloud-based robotic services and it explains a framework that provides authentication and key agreement using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for accessing the robotic services hosted in the cloud.…”
