        Abstract: Cloud-based robots are a specific forms of cyber-physical system, in
        which sensors, actuators, embedded system and cloud technology have to play
        together reliably. Therefore, cloud robots pose a new challenge for software
        engineering and programming languages: Cloud robots are not only complex
        robotic systems, but need all techniques of model-driven software development,
        such as domain-specific modelling, world modelling, reasoning in heterogeneous
        technical spaces, traceability between code and requirements, platform-
        independent and -dependent modelling, reuse technologies, and many more.
        In the end, software for cloud robots must be certified, i.e., a new product line
        technology has to be developed in which "apps" are certified incrementally, both in
        variants and versions.


        We present some of the related challenges and discuss the hypothesis that this will
        lead to a new research field between model-driven software engineering and
        robotics.
