Next Generation of Internet of Things

Abstract

IoT is growing at a fast pace, and billions of devices are now associated with the amount expected to reach trillions in the coming years. The Internet of things and the individual systems participate closely in launching the fourth industrial revolution and form alliances and develop the goods of the next generation. The foundation of Industry 4.0 is the transforming innovations. The convergence of robot and IoT agents contributes to Internet of Robotic Things concept, where creativity in automated devices generates different possibilities, both in business and science. It covers a range of sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing, health, education, and surveillance though the application of various technologies. The study discusses the new Internet of Robotic Things developments, which have an influence on the area of health, science, agriculture, manufacturing, education, and surveillance and the key open problems of introduction of robot technology into intelligent spaces. Internet of Robotic Things technology and frameworks are often addressed to highlight their effect on daily life and to promote more study on remote and automatic applications.
