Abstract

The technology, which is behind this drastically changing world, is the Internet of things (IoT) and Internet of things connected devices. These devices are capable of communicating over the Internet by using various protocols designed for wireless networks. In recent years, IoT devices have flooded the market, and their services to the society and the world infrastructure are becoming vital. The growing demand for automation has accelerated the deployment of IoT devices across the world. Not only the intelligent IoT devices and sensors but the robots also have become the backbone of smart automation systems such as home automation, industrial automation, and city automation (smart cities). The increasing number of these smart devices and growing infrastructure is creating security and privacy challenges, but at the same time, a number of leading companies have extended their support to curb the threat that may be fatal if not taken seriously. Startups have also started working in fields like healthcare, transportation, and delivery of goods via IoT devices across smart cities. Monitoring of streetlights, air quality, noise and traffic of a city, security, and optimal use of home appliances in a home and development of innovative technologies and increasing the production in an industry are some of the IoT and robotic services that the world is already exploiting. This chapter discusses the importance of intelligent IoT devices and robotics today and in future in the domains like home automation, industrial automation, and city automation.
