“…IoRT may include several applications in the manufacturing domain, such as spot welding and spray painting [ 60 ]. Specifically, spot welding refers to apply a welding tool to a certain object, such as a car body, at specified discrete locations [ 61 ], while spray painting involves covering a surface with an even coat of paint, pre-specifying the trajectory along which the robot will move [ 62 ].…”

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Internet of Things (IoT) and robotic systems are closely cooperating, reshaping their relations and managing to develop new-generation devices. Such disruptive technology corresponds to the backbone of the so-called Industry 4.0. The integration of robotic agents and IoT leads to the concept of the Internet of Robotic Things, in which innovation in digital systems is drawing new possibilities in both industrial and research fields, covering several domains such as manufacturing, agriculture, health, surveillance, and education, to name but a few. In this manuscript, the state-of-the-art of IoRT applications is outlined, aiming to mark their impact on several research fields, and focusing on the main open challenges of the integration of robotic technologies into smart spaces. IoRT technologies and applications are also discussed to underline their influence in everyday life, inducing the need for more research into remote and automated applications.

Innovations and market changes in warehouse and logistics systems force the adaptation and transformation of the existing business model into a business model based on modern technology. With the development of the Internet, RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology and sensors, new innovations are being created that allow the improvement of the existing mode of activity. Implementation of the new technology brings along a number of challenges that organizations must find an adequate response to. However, warehouse systems are not the only affected by the new technologies. The development of technology and technological innovations enable organizations to develop sustainability. Sustainable development is imperative due to increasing awareness of the need for environmental protection. The supply chain can also be managed much more efficiently if sensors that collect information of customer habits and process performance are implemented. Given the accelerating development of Industry 4.0 and the opportunities offered by newly developed technology, this paper provides an overview of current developments in the implementation of Industry 4.0 technological innovations in logistics.

This paper presents the overall architecture of the VIKINGS robot, one of the five contenders in the ARGOS challenge and winner of two competitions. The VIKINGS robot is an autonomous or remote-operated robot for the inspection of oil and gas sites and is able to assess various petrochemical risks based on embedded sensors and processing. As described in this article, our robot is able to autonomously monitor all the elements of a petrochemical process on a multi-storey oil platform (reading gauges, state of the valves, proper functioning of the pumps) while facing many hazards (leaks, obstacles or holes in its path). The aim of this article is to present the major components of our robot's architecture and the algorithms we developed for certain functions (localization, gauge reading, etc). We also present the methodology that we adopted and that allowed us to succeed in this challenge.
