- Robert as an intelligent AgentThe robot as a service is widely used one whereas a robot as a learner is an emerging concept. Though there are many learning robots have been presented throughout our research history. However, as a concept, it has not been formalized. Out robotic framework will equip intelligent algorithms using machine learning which provides robots to learn and adapt to situations. Expanding the horizon of cloud robotics, we are going to develop intelligent capabilities to our system using machine learning. By merging, Robot as a service, Robot as a learner, and intelligence of robot, this paper develop a new concept of Robot as an Intelligent Agent.
