5. We
want
robots
can
do
everything
• Stronger
CPU
and
ROM
• Stronger
OS
• The
Result
is
:
the
price
is
higher,
and
it’s
hard
for
us
to
add
algorithms
for
these
robots
6. SoluSon:
Put
these
brains
into
the
cloud

9. • To some extent, the flourish of the PC
industry is a result of clear division of
labor. Software companies like Microsoft
and hardware companies like HP
cooperate together and carry the industry
and technologies forward.
10. Put all the algorithms for different
tasks in the cloud server
• If PR become the
industry standard
hardware platform for
PR, how can we have a
PR do different things
without change the
programs inside it?
• We can put all the
algorithms for different
tasks in a cloud server.
Then each time a PR
want to do a new task, it
just connect to the
server and get the right
algorithm it want. See
the flow chart.

12. Why not setup a company just run
the cloud server and algorithms?
• Now, the cloud server’s role in PR industry
just like the Windows in the PC industry.
• Company A holds a cloud server, and most
algorithm in this server are for housework.
These algorithms are provided by
programmers all around the world.
• There can be many companies providing all
kinds of algorithms that can help the PR
execute all kinds tasks.

16. Change the brain of your robot
whenever you want
• The cloud server are paid by days or
years, the consumers can change the
brain of their robot (cloud server)
anytime they want.
18. 1: the PR can be more cheaper
• In this idea, the tasks are computed on
the cloud in fact. So the PR don't have to
be equipped a very strong CPU. The local
CPU only have to collect the information
on a task scene and control the PR to
execute the commands sent from the
server.
• Thus, the PR can be made smaller and
cheaper.
19. 2: Faster computing
• Absolutely, the cloud server’s
performance on computing must be far
better than a local computing system.
• A question which the local CPU needs to
compute for days can be handled in
seconds.
20. 3: Clear division of labor
• Clear division of labor may cause a series
of revolutions in the PR industry.
• The hardware manufacturers produce PR
just as the industry hardware. And the
cloud brain companies can focus on
developing new and better algorithms.
21. 4: Unified Control
• If one day, the robots really rebel, we
just need to damage the cloud servers….
• And the robot network can be controlled
just as a broadcasting system.
22. 5: Many other advantages just like
Cloud Computing
• Computing resources can be made well
use of.
• The computing resources can be paid by
need.
• ……………………..
24. Safety
• Yes, safety is absolutely the most
significant issue about this idea. How to
keep the PR’s connection to the server
safety?
• However, we cannot give up internet
because of viruses.
