Rapid technological innovation has made commercially accessible consumer robotics a reality.At the same time, individuals and organizations are turning to "the cloud" for more convenient and cost effective data storage and management.It seemed only inevitable that these two technologies would merge to create cloud robotics, "a new approach to robotics that takes advantage of the Internet as a resource for massively parallel computation and sharing of vast data resources."By making robots lighter, cheaper, and more efficient, cloud robotics could be the catalyst for a mainstream consumer robotics marketplace.However, this new industry would join a host of modern consumer technologies that seem to have rapidly outpaced the legal and regulatory regimes
