Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics cannot be considered two separate domains these days. Internet of Robotics Things (IoRT) is a concept that has been recently introduced to describe the integration of robotics technologies in IoT scenarios. As a consequence, these two research fields have started interacting, and thus linking research communities. In this paper we intend to make further steps in joining the two communities and broaden the discussion on the development of this interdisciplinary field. The paper provides an overview, analysis and challenges of possible solutions for the Internet of Robotic Things, discussing the issues of the IoRT architecture, the integration of smart spaces and robotic applications.

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.

Establishing a communication bridge by transferring data driven from different embedded sensors via internet or reconcilable network protocols between enormous number of distinctively addressable objects or "things", is known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT can be amalgamated with multitudinous objects such as thermostats, cars, lights, refrigerators, and many more appliances which will be able to build a connection via internet. Where objects of our diurnal life can establish a network connection and get smarter with IoT, robotics can be another aspect which will get beneficial to be brought under the concept of IoT and is able to add a new perception in robotics having "Mechanical Smart Intelligence" which is generally called "Internet of Robotic Things" (IoRT). A robotic arm is a part of robotics where it is usually a programmable mechanical arm which has human arm like functionalities. In this paper, IoRT will be represented by a 5 DoF (degree of freedoms) Robotic Arm which will be able to communicate as an IoRT device, controlled with heterogeneous devices using IoT and "Cloud Robotics".

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).

IoT helps to create new technologies to solve problems, enhance operations, and increase productivity. The IoT and robotics communities are coming together to create The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT). Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering, computer science, and others. Automation is on top of everyone's agenda to improve quality, productivity and predictability of outputs produced. Robotics and IoT play very important part in automation.

Trends today have been mentioning robots a lot more than they used to. Similarly, we as humans are using them a lot more than we used to. This could be for several reasons-popularity, feasibility, availability. Technology now is not just confined to the internet, it has grown into artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and Internet of Things. The fast-paced transforming technological world has embraced IoT with open hands. It is a network that enables you to connect and share, just like a cloud platform but between devices and other platforms.

Who within organizations should be responsible for robotics security? Today's security threats have expanded in scope and seriousness. There can now be millions -- or even billions -- of dollars at risk when information security isn't handled properly. As robotics becomes increasingly intertwined with other facets of IT such as the cloud, mobile devices, data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT), concerns about the risk of data theft and other negative impacts are legitimate. But the security issue goes beyond traditional risks such as the loss or theft of information or the interruption of services.

Forget the Internet of Things market, the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) is expected to be a multibillion-dollar business by 2022. According to Research and Markets, the Internet of Robotic Things market is expected to be valued at 21.44 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 29.7 percent between 2016 and 2022. The growth of this market is being largely driven by adoption of IoRT by the eCommerce industry, increasing application areas owing to integration of robots with various technologies, short payback period and return on investment. "The collaborative robots in industrial sector are used in manufacturing industries to speed up the production processes, increase productivity and efficiency and minimize the costs involved in production in the long term," a press release announcing the new report stated. "The smart robots are being adopted by the industrial sector to work along with the humans. Collaborative robots are used in the various industrial segments to help humans in the activities, such as welding, painting, sorting, among others. It is expected that smart robots performing autonomous tasks would solve the problem of scarcity of labor among industries."

The latest Internet of Things (IoT) sub-segment to emerge is the Internet of Robotic Things, where intelligent robots operate with relative autonomy. As reported by ZDNet, ABI Research is championing the emergence of IoT-powered robots. 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. And though the IoRT concept has been kicking around for a few years, ABI's practice director of robotics Dan Kara says the technology is still in the early stages. However, he says new innovations are starting to appear in this space, like iRobot which uses Amazon Web Services to connect consumer robotic devices to the cloud.
