Cloud Control of Robot Technology Through the iPad

The era of robotic cloud in Indonesia has begun. Not only for the operational needs of the company. Cloud technology can also be used for robotics research. World Robotic Explorer (wre) shows cloud robotic platform developed in a press conference last week in wre Thamrin City, Central Jakarta.

Cloud Robot is a robot with "brains" are in the "cloud" or outside the body and the operation of Internet-based. This development could make robots more unlimited capabilities and developed without the need to create a new physical robots.

The platform was developed robots that wre have a triangular shape and moves with the wheel. "Later, we can develop this platform with a form that we want according to function," says Jully Tjindrawan, founder wre.

Calling one of the possible functions, Jully says, "For example we could create a robot that provides drinks, we'll live for its body, and comes with a tray. But the motion is still based on the wheel, not running"

Cloud platform is shown that the robot is controlled via the iPad. Users simply tilting the iPad to the right, left, front and rear to make the robot move in that direction. In addition, the robot could also make a circular motion.

Jully said the robot platform was developed with a variety of operating systems. "What we show is a programmable robot platform Mac understand the language. We also developed based on Android and Microsoft," said Jully.

Robotic platform developed in the lab of Singapore is one of the results of Research & Development Home Robot. According Jully, to develop this robot platform, it cost about USD 60 million.

Jully hope, the robot platform can spur the younger generation, especially those interested in robotics, for further work. "When they heard this, they could be encouraged to develop. This could be a spirit," said Jully.
