With the development of cloud computing, big data, and other emerging technologies, the integration of cloud technology and multi-robot systems makes it possible to design multi-robot systems with improved energy efficiency, high real-time performance, and low cost. In order to address the potential of clouds in enhancing robotics for industrial systems, this paper describes the basic concepts and development process of cloud robotics and the overall architecture of these systems. Then, the major driving forces behind the development of cloud robotics are carefully analyzed from the point of view of cloud computing, big data, open source resources, robot cooperative learning, and network connectivity. Subsequently, the key issues and challenges in the current cloud robotic systems are proposed, and some possible solutions are also given. Finally, the potential value of cloud robotic systems in different practical applications is discussed.
