Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) concept is gaining more and more notoriety bringing the number of connected devices to reach the order of billion units. Its smart technology is influencing the research and developments of advanced solutions in many areas. This paper focuses on the merger between the IoT and robotics named the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT). Allowing robotic systems to communicate over the internet at a minimal cost is an important technological opportunity. Robots can use the cloud to improve the overall performance and for offloading demanding tasks. Since communicating to the cloud results in latency, data loss, and energy loss, finding efficient techniques is a concern that can be addressed with current machine learning methodologies. Moreover, the use of robotic generates ethical and regulation questions that should be answered for a proper coexistence between humans and robots. This paper aims at providing a better understanding of the new concept of IoRT with its benefits and limitations, as well as guidelines and directions for future research and studies.
