Do you have a lonely robot at home that is just looking to connect with someone just like itself? myrobots.com may be the answer.
MyRobots is a subsidiary of RobotShop offering web-base services. The portal was launched December 20th, 2011.
You can think of MyRobots as a social network for robots and smart objects. In the same way humans benefit from socializing, collaborating and sharing, robots can benefit from those interactions too by sharing their sensor information giving insight on their perspective of their current state.
MyRobots.com aims to connect all robots and intelligent devices to the Internet. In doing so potential augmentation of capabilities remotely monitoring and control may be possible. Cloud robotics may be a potential of the site.

MyRobots.com is also planning to host a robot app store. Unlike apps for cell phones, at MyRobots.com the emphasis will be on cloud-based software so that the robots' resources are kept as free as possible.
