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 online 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.

Internet of Things (IoT) incorporates internet-connected devices or sensors that have the potential to collect millions and billions of Gigabytes of data in real-time. Without any human intervention, the data in IoT is transferred among the various devices over a wireless network. IoT devices are the most significant drivers of digital transformation, new applications, data-driven optimization, innovation and streaming revenue across various sectors. Usually, IoT devices are programmed to handle specific tasks, whereas, robots are designed to learn from the environment while reacting to unforeseen conditions. The technologies behind robotics are Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

Although it's still early days to truly gauge the immediate impact of 5G technology on businesses, you should all embrace for a shinier future. The role of 5G on the world's economy would be profound, especially in pushing the adoption rates of emerging technologies -- Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Augmented Reality (AR). These emerging techs are conspicuous with their far-reaching benefits and long-term economic potential. According to a study by Global Data, the intrinsic capacity of the fifth-generation cellular technology (5G) to connect the Internet's end systems with enhanced data flows and faster response times will unlock the full potential of emerging technologies. The buzz about 5G adoption has created a whirlwind interest among emerging tech innovators and vendors.

Bringing IoT to a factory floor is as much about robots as it is about any other class of device. Meanwhile, robots are more attractive in their own right because labor costs are rising globally. Although robotics for automation generally focuses on movement and manipulations, IoT and robotics involves a world of devices in the field -- devices that depend on electronic sensors and software. "A lot of companies have outsourced for low-cost labor, but labor in China is going up in cost by 15% a year," said Jim Lawton, COO at Rethink Robotics Inc., a company that focuses on designing robots that work well with humans. In fact, he noted, almost every manufacturing company he has spoken with in recent years complains about the lack of labor; temporary help firms are hired to bring in workers and by lunch time, half of them are gone, he said.
