Advances in IoT, Robotics, and Cyber Physical Systems for Industrial Transformation

Smart home, Smart city, and Wearable Technologies are the most exponentially growing applications of Internet of Things (IoT). Wearable Technology is considered to be highly ubiquitous and most phenomenal IoT Application. Smart World and Wearable Technology exhibits a high potential to transform our lifestyle. Ranging from healthcare tracking applications to smart watches and smart bands for personal safety, IoT has become one of the most indispensable part of our lives. In a study by Business Insider's premium research service, by the end of 2022, the wearable IoT market is expected to grow and reach 162.9 million units. Some of the top-notch application of IoT include smart parking, smart wearable technologies, smart clothing, smart safety, smart farming, smart industry, robotics and so on thereby building next-generation smart world.

An immense foresight on today's communication world seem to vest on development of smart world, where intelligent "things" are connected to serve people better. With the exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications, the implementation of smart world becomes much more feasible. Sensor market plays a vital role in applying IoT to build smart world. Applications such as monitoring of parking space to optimally park the vehicles (Smart Parking), detecting the frequency and intensity of traffic and optimally select routes (Traffic Congestion), prediction of trash levels in garbage collection containers (Smart Waste Management), managing the intensity of street lights based on weather condition and sunlight (Smart Lighting), detecting and controlling excess of hazardous gases coming from industries and vehicles (Smart Air Pollution Controlling), detecting the mix of hazardous chemicals of factories with drinking water (Smart Water Pollution Controlling), efficient monitoring and management of power consumption (Smart Grid), artificial intelligence driven retail marketing (Smart Shopping), detecting health abnormalities (Smart Health) and Home Automation mechanisms fall under the category of applying IoT and Robotics in building smart world. The purpose of designing this book series is to portray certain practical applications of IoT in building smart world. With a wide-spread application of smart cities and smart home, the need of this book series becomes important.
