With near-universal internet access and ever-advancing electronic devices, the ability to facilitate interactions between various hardware and software provides endless possibilities. Though internet of things (IoT) technology is becoming more popular among individual users and companies, more potential applications of this technology are being sought every day. There is a need for studies and reviews that discuss the methodologies, concepts, and possible problems of a technology that requires little or no human interaction between systems.

The mobile robotics industry is related to creating mobile robots that can move around in physical environments. Different types of mobile robot designs for obstacle avoidance have been experimented in the past based on different sensors, trajectory algorithms, etc. The chapter 6 presents implementation details of different obstacle avoiding robots (OARs) using sensors, Bluetooth module, and IoT modules. The sensor-based obstacle-avoiding robots are designed using ultrasonic sensors and Arduino microcontrollers. Bluetooth-based obstacle-avoiding robots have been designed using Arduino mega and Bluetooth module and an Android application. IoT-based obstacle-avoiding robots can be designed in three different ways, using ethernet shield, node MCU, or Raspberry Pi. The IoT-based obstacle-avoiding robot using Raspberry Pi is the most popular mobile robot model that uses maximum on-chip modules in comparison to other designs, and also, the design can be extended by using cameras to use images for sensing the objects in order to avoid collisions.

The Handbook of Research on the Internet of Things Applications in Robotics and Automation is a pivotal reference source on the methods and uses of advancing IoT technology. While highlighting topics including traffic information systems, home security, and automatic parking, this book is ideally designed for network analysts, telecommunication system designers, engineers, academicians, technology specialists, practitioners, researchers, students, and software developers seeking current research on the trends and functions of this life-changing technology.
