Internet of Things (IoT): Definitions, Challenges, and Recent Research Directions

(International Journal of Computer Applications, 2015-10-09) Zainab H. Ali, Hesham Arafat Ali, Mahmoud Badawy

In this paper, we seek to highlight the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) in general, as well as reviewing the main challenges of the IoT environment by focusing on the recent research directions in this topic. Recently, IoT has emerged as a new technology that is used to express a modern wireless telecommunication network, and it can be defined as an intelligent and interoperability node interconnected in a dynamic global infrastructure network, also it seeks to implement the connectivity concept of anything from anywhere at anytime. Indeed, the IoT environment possesses a large spectrum of challenges has a broad impact on their performance, which can be divided into two categories, namely, i) General challenges: such as communication, heterogeneity, virtualization and security; and ii) Unique challenges: such as wireless sensor network (WSN), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and finally Quality of service (QoS) that is considered as a common factor between both general and special challenges. In addition, this paper highlights the main applications of the IoT.

The future of Robotics Technology

(2017-03-12) Luigi Pagliarini, Henrik Hautop Lund

In the last decade the robotics industry has created millions of additional jobs led by consumer electronics and the electric vehicle industry, and by 2020, robotics will be a $100 billion worth industry, as big as the tourism industry. For example, the rehabilitation robot market has grown 10 times between 2010 and 2016, thanks to advancements in rehab/therapy robots, active prostheses, exoskeletons, and wearable robotics. In short, the very next decade robotics will become vital components in a number of applications and robots paired with AI will be able to perform complex actions that are capable of learning from humans, driving the intelligent automation phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper we try to depict the direction and the fields of application of such important sector of future markets, and scientific research.
