Internet of Things Meets Robotics: A Survey of Cloud-based Robots

This work presents a survey of existing literature on the fusion of the Internet of Things (IoT) with robotics and explores the integration of these technologies for the development of the Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT). The survey focuses on the applications of IoRT in healthcare and agriculture, while also addressing key concerns regarding the adoption of IoT and robotics. Additionally, an on-line survey was conducted to examine how companies utilize IoT technology in their organizations. The findings highlight the benefits of IoT in improving customer experience, reducing costs, and accelerating product development. However, concerns regarding unauthorized access, data breaches, and privacy need to be addressed for successful IoT deployment. Organizations must prioritize protecting users and their data while harnessing the potential of IoT.
