IoT and Robotics are expected to revolutionize industries and services. This workshop will address the interplay between the two: namely, how can robotics benefit from IoT and the major role robotics will play as one of the “things” in IoT. The workshop is expected to address the technological and the industrial dimension.
The presentations will address:
1) The robotics perspective: what can robotics offer to IoT?; expected IoT contribution to robotics
2) The IoT perspective: the IOT aspects – state of the art; what can IoT offer to Robotics; expected robotics contribution to IoT
3) The critical role of AI in the IoT-ROBOTICS context
4) Strategic perspectives: Disruptions in industry, services and markets expected from (IOT + Robotics)
The following discussion will address the future cooperation, in particular to contribute to digitization of industry.
