Acquisition of the 3-D environmental map via a cloud system is an important topic to operate multiple robots under the environment because the existing map can be shared for self-location of the robot, route planning and detection of obstacles without creating a new map. We have developed the system loaded on the movable robot to acquire the 3-D environmental restoring data that can be incorporated into the cloud system. The system consists of Velodyne VLP-16 LIDAR and ZED stereo camera, and they were loaded on the wagon and the small rover; Turtlebot2. Then, we have considered the framework of the database in the cloud system. All data are linked with timestamp and categorized into type of robot and the environment. The addition of meta data such as information about the sensor type and the attachment position is also important to identify the environment by the robot.
