Emerging Technology Topic: Internet of Robotic Things
Rationale
a. Problem Domain
In recent times the manufacturing industry is suffering due to shortage of skilled workers. The author has found that the skilled
professionals are aging and retiring, that is why the manufacturing sectors are searching for the solution by which they can retain their top
position in the market and can fulfil demand of the customers (Simoens et al., 2016). The manufacturing sectors are opting for the Internet-
enabled robots. Internet of Robotic Things allows robots to communicate with each other over the internet. The robots by working together can
eliminate the skills gap and can help the manufacturing sectors to prosper.
a. Purpose and justification
The purpose of this project is to provide the manufacturing industry a solution by which they can increase their productivity and market
share. The robots will give them the cost-effective solution and the competitive advantage following which they can prosper in future. Also the
manufacturing sectors can be able to reduce of risks which emerge due to lack of skilled labourers (Razafimandimby, Loscri & Vegni, 2016).
The paper will demonstrate various advantages that can be acquired due to the adaptation of IoRT in the manufacturing industry.
The robots communicate with each other over the internet and will assist to handle the difficult tasks with ease which is not even possible for
human beings even if they work as a team. The manufacturing industry mainly uses those robots to perform pick and place operations.

2. Research questions
 What is the main reason behind for not meeting the quality demand?
 What are the issues occurring due to shortage of skilled labourers?
 Does IoRT devices are capable enough to meet the needs of the manufacturing sectors?
 What will be the probable budget for implementing all these smart devices?
3. Conceptual framework
The conceptual framework explains several questions which help to conduct the research. The figure 1 has illustrated the major issues
which the manufacturing companies are facing. The manufacturing sectors are opting for implementing the smart IoRT devices. They hope that
all these robots will give them several benefits. The robots are generally fast and efficient compared to the humans. The humans can give wrong
output. However, the robots give fast and efficient results (Ray, 2016). The robots require little maintenance and they can serve for long. The
robots are cost-effective. Figure 1 shows the issues associated with the project. The cost also depends on the robots.
