Here I provide a description of the cooperative object detection and recognition approach built on top of the previously-described cloud robotics platform. I assume for the time being that each robot participating in the distributed system has a single Kinect and a Wifi connection to the Internet. I use the point cloud library (PCL) (Rusu & Cousins, 2011) point cloud data structure to represent the structure and appearance of known objects. The computational task of object recognition is likewise based on PCL functions.
