Consider a robot that needs to solve very challenging motion planning problems quickly. For high degree of freedom robots, a typical setup requires a capital expense of thousands of dollars to purchase a high-end computer capable of computing timely solutions. As an alternative, would you prefer gaining access to the latest computational hardware on demand, and for cents per task? That is the promise of cloud computing for robots - a potential to lower costs and improve efficiency for a variety of robotics applications.
