Industrial Internet of Things at work: a case study analysis in Robotic-aided environmental monitoring

Abstract

Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) and robotic systems are key drivers of technological innovation trends. Leveragingthe advantages of both technologies, IoT-aided robotic systems can disclose a disruptive potential of opportunities The presentcontribution provides an experimental analysis of an IoT-aided robotic system for environmental monitoring. To this end, an experimentaltestbed has been developed. It is composed of: (i) an IoT device connected to (ii) a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) whichexecutes a patrolling mission within a specified area where (iii) an IoT network has been deployed to sense environmental data.An extensive experimental campaign has been carried out to scavenge pros and cons of adopted technologies. The key resultsof our analysis show that: (i) the UAV does not incur any significant overhead due to on board IoT equipment and (ii) the overallQuality of Service (QoS) expressed in terms of network joining time, data retrieval delay and Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) satisfies themission requirements. These results enable further development in larger scale environment.
