Robots and automation systems are no longer limited by onboard resources in computation, memory, or software. "Cloud Robotics and Automation" is where robots and automation systems share data and code and perform computation via networks building on emerging research in cloud computing. Teleoperation and cloud technologies will cause mass consumerization of robotics over the next five years. Between 2017 and 2022, Cloud Robotics will facilitate a major shift of manufacturing into cloud infrastructure The combined Cloud Robotics market will reach $18.2 billion by 2022 .
