Abstract

This paper describes our concept for control of robots and machine tools through a private factory cloud which is dynamically extended by additional public resources. After discussing the opportunities and drawbacks of the virtualization of robot controllers (RC) and software programmable logic controllers (soft-PLC), we present first experiences with the setup of private and public infrastructures. Finally, we introduce our experimental design for investigating the requirements of machine control algorithms regarding availability, dependability and realtime capability in local and public configurations.
