“…We selected LoRa as an appropiate LPWAN technology due to its low-power and long-range properties [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ], which are suitable for many applications [ 56 ]. Thus, we propose a LoRa H-WSN that makes use of the LoRaWAN protocol using class A devices, which is the lowest power consumption way of generating traffic [ 57 , 58 ], suitable for soft real-time applications [ 59 ]. Moreover, LoRa technology enables geolocation techniques without GPS by fingerprinting [ 60 ], Kalman filtering [ 61 ], or multilateration algorithms using concentrator-nodes timestamps from the received packets [ 62 ].…”

Cloud robotics and advanced communications can foster a step-change in cooperative robots and hybrid wireless sensor networks (H-WSN) for demanding environments (e.g., disaster response, mining, demolition, and nuclear sites) by enabling the timely sharing of data and computational resources between robot and human teams. However, the operational complexity of such multi-agent systems requires defining effective architectures, coping with implementation details, and testing in realistic deployments. This article proposes X-IoCA, an Internet of robotic things (IoRT) and communication architecture consisting of a hybrid and heterogeneous network of wireless transceivers (H2WTN), based on LoRa and BLE technologies, and a robot operating system (ROS) network. The IoRT is connected to a feedback information system (FIS) distributed among multi-access edge computing (MEC) centers. Furthermore, we present SAR-IoCA, an implementation of the architecture for search and rescue (SAR) integrated into a 5G network. The FIS for this application consists of an SAR-FIS (including a path planner for UGVs considering risks detected by a LoRa H-WSN) and an ROS-FIS (for real-time monitoring and processing of information published throughout the ROS network). Moreover, we discuss lessons learned from using SAR-IoCA in a realistic exercise where three UGVs, a UAV, and responders collaborated to rescue victims from a tunnel accessible through rough terrain.

“…Except application areas we must mention, that application of IoT is closely connected with other negative factors, for example IoT security challenges (Jain and Singh, 2019;Nouichi et al, 2019;Moin et al, 2019), data security (Sittón-Candanedo, 2019), real-time data analytics (Fernández et al, 2019), energy consumption of IoT devices (Gunturi and Reddy, 2018;Liu et al, 2019), service innovation (Lee, Kao and Yang, 2014).…”

Purpose: This article proposes and analyses the potential use of IoT solutions for detecting water consumption not only from technical, but also from the business and financial points of view. This topic is important because by solving this problem, companies may save a lot of money and this paper provides financial analysis, which answers question, if the implementation is or is not meaningful.Methodology/Approach: Source data used in this paper come from an extensive survey among fifty experts from the energy supply industry in the Czech Republic during two-round workshops. One of the most attractive application has been appointed “monitoring of utility consumption” – for this article the water metering.Findings: We have reached the conclusion that an isolated implementation of IoT technologies is much more expensive than the current solution that are based on human labour, periodical inspections of meters by people. This is caused mainly by high prices of the sonic/mechanical metering devices supporting IoT functionality.Research Limitation/implication: Workshops and research work were realised in conditions in the Czech Republic. Principles of application opportunities and of its implementation are general, but the final decisions about their importance can be influenced by the specifics and situation in the Czech Republic.Originality/Value of paper: The value of the paper comes from the workshops where were defined important application opportunities for definition of the priority for each of defined application opportunities.
