In modern multi-robotic systems research, which is a relatively new field, 
their implementation on cloud systems and utilizing the out-of-the-box 
features of cloud resources are widely investigated for their importance on 
task managing, data logging, and getting precise predictions for autonomous 
driving. The major objective of utilizing the system based on cloud computing 
is to alleviate the complexity of distributed computing and storage and 
heterogeneous computing. Each self-driving car generates enormous data 
from different sensing elements such as GPS for HD map generation, LiDAR 
for 3D mapping the environment and understanding obstacles, Camera for 
all the computer vision operations from sign detection to the road line 
determination and MPU accelerometer or Inertia Measuring Unit for detecting 
the behavior of the robotic system and car.

According to the project described in this paper, the different robotic 
agents or cars will detect different problems or advantages along the route, 
which is determined beforehand, with their sensors and they will transmit this 
collected data to the cloud platform for processing on a real-time basis. The 
collected data will assist other robotic systems to behave smart and more 
robustness could be achieved in this approach. The grid that has a 
dependency on remote servers, will create huge information and availability 
for predicting actions and defining the correct path. With the infrastructure of 
hardware and software introduced in this project, we will be able to utilize the 
real-time data on the autonomous cars with remote control and the 
instructions will be generated according to the data which is in the cloud 
platform and gained from other agents’ sensor data contribution.
If a project involves some kind of vehicle, it is necessary to measure 
physical quantities like acceleration, speed, traveled distance and rotation 
angle. We would need several measurement devices in order to measure 
these quantities. First, we need an accelerometer to measure acceleration in 
3 different axes. Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. 
Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for 
aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by 
accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so 
that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial 
vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilize flight.
