RoboBrain marks the dawn of cloud robotics

Posted by: Emily Smith August 25, 2014 in Tech

RoboBrain is the new attempt of artificial intelligence researchers to create a cloud-based database that would help out existing and future robots. In theory, RoboBrain is supposed to be a massive database of all the information robots have been taught so far and offers the possibility of increasing that knowledge as well. The main idea behind RoboBrain is that the cumulative knowledge robots have been able to gather should be collected in the same place, namely cloud storage, and made available to every robot developer.

Sharing all the information, parameters, audio, video, etc that robots have gathered so far would mean that any robotic device one wants to create can access every code that has been written so far so that it can automatize its purpose much faster than it would if it had been manufactured with its own set of information and applications. All the information stored by RoboBrain would have the ultimate purpose of helping robots navigate and understand their environment, including speech, writing, music and objects.

So robots' brain live inside the vast array of remotely located servers. At the current stage of robotics technology, mounting intelligent brain on an autonomous individual robot is difficult. Computers required to do that would be too big and consumes too much power for a robot to carry around.

Agreed.
Now imagine telling the bottom billion who don’t have electricity and billion more with erratic power that they can’t - because we have to power servers to support an AI like that.
Talk about a Luddite rebellion.
