Google’s Cloud Robotics Core is an open source platform that provides infrastructure essential to building and running robotics solutions for business automation. Cloud Robotics Core makes managing robot fleets easy for developers, integrators, and operators. It enables:

• packaging and distribution of applications
• secure, bidirectional robot-cloud communication
• easy access to Google Cloud services such as ML, logging, and monitoring.
