Vehicles are becoming increasingly automated and interconnected, enabling the formation of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) and the use of offboard services. As a result, cloud-native techniques, such as microservices and…

Cloud native technologies have been observed to expand into the realm of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-physical Systems, of which an important application domain is robotics. In this paper, we review the cloudification practice in the…

With robots entering the world of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), ordering the execution of allocated tasks during run-time becomes crucial. This is so because, in a real world, there can be several physical tasks that use shared resources…

In an increasingly automated world -- from warehouse robots to self-driving cars -- streamlining the development and deployment process and operations of robotic applications becomes ever more important. Automated DevOps processes and…

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) play a vital role in the operation of intelligent interconnected systems. CPS integrates physical and software components capable of sensing, monitoring, and controlling physical assets and processes. However,…

This paper proposes a novel approach to address the challenges of deploying complex robotic software in large-scale systems, i.e., Centralized Nonlinear Model Predictive Controllers (CNMPCs) for multi-agent systems. The proposed approach is…

This paper presents a system called Robo-CSK-Organizer that infuses commonsense knowledge from a classical knowledge based to enhance the context recognition capabilities of robots so as to facilitate the organization of detected objects by…

Microservices architecture, known for its agility and efficiency, is an ideal framework for cloud-based software development and deployment. When integrated with containerization and orchestration systems, resource management becomes more…

Containers are standalone, self-contained units that package software and its dependencies together. They offer lightweight performance isolation, fast and flexible deployment, and fine-grained resource sharing. They have gained popularity…

Future intelligent system will involve very various types of artificial agents, such as mobile robots, smart home infrastructure or personal devices, which share data and collaborate with each other to execute certain tasks.Designing an…

Containerisation demonstrates its efficiency in application deployment in cloud computing. Containers can encapsulate complex programs with their dependencies in isolated environments, hence are being adopted in HPC clusters. HPC workload…

Several interesting problems in multi-robot systems can be cast in the framework of distributed optimization. Examples include multi-robot task allocation, vehicle routing, target protection, and surveillance. While the theoretical analysis…

Robotic systems are more connected, networked, and distributed than ever. New architectures that comply with the \textit{de facto} robotics middleware standard, ROS\,2, have recently emerged to fill the gap in terms of hybrid systems…

In this paper, we introduce ChoiRbot, a toolbox for distributed cooperative robotics based on the novel Robot Operating System (ROS) 2. ChoiRbot provides a fully-functional toolset to execute complex distributed multi-robot tasks, either in…

The underlying framework for controlling autonomous robots and complex automation applications are Operating Systems (OS) capable of scheduling perception-and-control tasks, as well as providing real-time data communication to other robotic…

Cloud computing has radically changed the way organisations operate their software by allowing them to achieve high availability of services at affordable cost. Containerized microservices is an enabling technology for this change, and…

Industries are considering the adoption of cloud computing for real-time applications due to current improvements in network latencies and the advent of Fog and Edge computing. To create an RT-cloud capable of hosting real-time…

Systems based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) are easy to extend with new on-line algorithms and devices. However, there is relatively little support for coordinating a large number of heterogeneous sub-systems. In this paper we propose…

It is imperative to develop an intrusion prevention system (IPS), specifically designed for autonomous robotic systems. This is due to the unique nature of these cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are not merely typical distributed…

The novel concept of a Cyber-Human Social System (CHSS) and a diverse and pluralistic 'mixed-life society' is proposed, wherein cyber and human societies commit to each other. This concept enhances the Cyber-Physical System (CPS), which is…
