ROBOTSINRESIDENCE:UNDERSTANDINGTHEAPPLICATIONSAND OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OFTHE INTERNET OFROBOTICTHINGS(IORT) INSMART DOMAINS

Abstract

The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) is at the forefront of technological innovation, merging robotics with the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize smart domains such as homes, offices, and cities. This paper provides an in-depth exploration of IoRT, examining its applications and addressing the challenges hindering its widespread adoption. Beginning with an overview of IoRT's foundational technologies, we delve into its diverse applications across various sectors, including home automation, healthcare, industrial automation, and urban infrastructure management. Despite its potential, IoRT faces significant challenges, including security, privacy, interoperability, and ethical concerns. Through an analysis of these obstacles and proposed strategies to overcome them, this research aims to inform and advance the integration of robotic devices into smart environments, thereby enhancing efficiency, productivity, and quality of life.
