Say hello to the Internet of Robotic Things

The latest Internet of Things (IoT) sub-segment to emerge is the Internet of Robotic Things, where intelligent robots operate with relative autonomy. In essence the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) describes devices that are able to combine data from various sources, monitor events, determine a best course of action and manipulate objects in the real world. "Both commercial and consumer robotics systems can benefit from these capabilities," he said. "Smart edge devices can share embedded, local data with robotic systems, describing themselves and providing other information," said Kara.
