CoT is more knowledge-driven than data-driven. Every enterprise deals with complexity in decision-making activities, and CoT can be beneficial in marketing, logistics, supplier, manufacturer, and design data (Wang et al., 2014). In cloud manufacturing, all the manufacturing resources are sensed and connected to the cloud. For the sharing and exchanging the data automatically, IoT technologies like RFID tags and barcodes can be used (Zhong et al. 2017). Cloud-based Design and Manufacturing (CBDM) is a service-based manufacturing model in which end users can configure products or reconfigure the manufacturing system through the business models (Wu et al., 2013). In cloud-based remanufacturing, various information techniques are used in decision making for the future lifecycle of the product in the remanufacturing process (Esmaeilian et al., 2016). Cloud robotics is a field of application autonomy that endeavours to invoke cloud innovations, for example, Google’s self-driving car which uses maps or images collected by the satellite, street views from the cloud to facilitate correct localization. Another example of cloud robotics is the Kiva Systems pallet robot for warehouse logistics (Kehoe et al., 2015).

Cloud robotics [24] is a field of robotics, wherein technologies such as cloud computing, cloud storage, etc., are used as beneficial services. Through these services, robots can be made to share information with other machines wirelessly, so that they can be controlled and monitored from anywhere, anytime, around the globe. Also, humans can assign tasks to robots remotely. Thus, simplification and ease of access will be top priorities. The security issues of robotic cars are now leveraged in terms of deep learning strategies [30,31,32,33]. Gesture-features are also added in most robotic cars, to control the overall operation [34,35,36,37]. The IoT’s numerous applications range from smart appliances, smart health care, smart farming, smart wearables, smart buildings, smart cars, and smart cities to smart robots, paving the way to a fully networked ecosystem [25].
From forced labour to robots
Published in Eduard Fosch-Villaronga, Robots, Healthcare, and the Law, 2019
The physical embodiment of a robot distinguishes it from mere virtual agents, and plays a significant role in many applications. Moreover, its physical embodiment confines its capabilities. Cloud services provide computation, data, and storage to support the operation of a robot; these services are named cloud robotics (Fosch-Villaronga & Millard, 2019). The idea of cloud robotics began to emerge more than two decades ago. Ibana (1997) proposed the creation of remote-brained robots as a solution to the dependence that robots generally have on heavy on-board processing when interacting with the real world. According to Ibana (1997), robot engineers could design a robot with a large-scale, remote, powerful brain and a lightweight body. In this case, the body would provide an interface for the brain in the external world; and the brain would offer a program that could receive sensor information from the robot and send actuation commands to the physical body.
Towards an architecture for cloud robotic services

Cloud robotics is a way of delivering robotic computing services over the internet. Robotic software can be provided as an on-demand service over a decentralized infrastructure. This allows mainly different robotic codes to be discovered over the internet for their reuse, which can be implemented through Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is an approach that provides distributed systems, based on the use of encapsulated and interoperable software components. A typical service types of SOA include Web services that agree to Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and those described as Representational State Transfer (ReST) style services [8].
