Cloud-Based Analysis and Control for Robots in Industrial Automation

We present an architecture for cloud-based analysis of manufacturing environments and derived robot actions. We report on our implemented facility that combines visual cloud-based analysis of a robot environment and derived actions of robots plus appropriate means for human interaction with these cloud based services via hand gestures to interact with analysis results and robots. The facility will enable study of the software engineering of most-feasible combinations of human interaction interfaces with remote equipment.
