title = "Cloud robotics: Formation control of a multi robot system utilizing cloud infrastructure",
abstract = "The pathway for the concept of cloud robotics is continually unfolding and revealing new opportunities in science. With this, the focus of the research paper is aimed at identifying the progress completed towards the development of a full scale cloud infrastructure to implement formation control on a multi robot system. A small scale cloud infrastructure was developed utilizing a single virtual machine operating with the boundaries of a hypervisor's resource pool. A robot with minimal hardware was constructed to work within the control of the cloud. Once the proof of concept on a lower tier has been completed, more advance robotics concepts, such as Null-Spaced-base behavior control and advanced neural network control, will be tested by offloading the computational load to the cloud infrastructure. The goal is to demonstrate the ability to simplify the robot hardware and implement control on a global scale utilizing the cloud infrastructure.",
