Abstract

Global research and developments in robotics and IoT have received noteworthy consideration in the present years. The chapter highlights some efforts of researchers in robotics and artificial intelligence using IoT applications and advancements. The intelligent robotics structures exploit the physical shapes of robotics and have the ability to think and perform duties like human beings. Artificial intelligence focusses on the aspects like how the robot or machine performs duties, such as reasoning, learning, and problem solving. The IoT of robotics is an emerging area of research and development that brings together universal sensors and autonomous systems. The fusion of robotics and IoT technologies will increase the capabilities of new creation in both the existing IoT and the robotics systems. Integration of the IoT and robotics gives birth to new concept titled “Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT)”; it talks about the beginning of cloud robotics and its support toward robotic functions like sensing, manipulation, and mobility. The IoRT-aided systems are very useful in various applications of every domain in life like medical, defense, farming, industrial plants, and rescue operations. Moreover, the track to an established evolution of IoT-aided robotics products needs several essential issues to be resolved, designing methods to be associated, and strong structural choices to be deliberated. This chapter covers scientific consequences, open problems, challenges, and target applications in the IoRT area. In today’s scenario, IoT-aided robotics has diverse fields and services like: communication networks, distributed and pervasive computing, semantic-oriented approaches to consensus, network security, and many others.
