Now, computers and smartphones have become more powerful than internet connectivity. Every ‘smart' device in our environment now aspires to use digital interventions to solve real-world problems. The buzz around IoT is, of course, huge. This disturbing technology penetrates various industries, develops new IoT applications, and connects all internet-enabled devices around us. One survey shows that 61 billion connected devices are expected to be available by 2025. But some of them shine more than others, in the mad rush of “newer” and “better” IoT applications. The chapter aims to present a summary of the challenges in the applications that the internet of things must face in their research and development, which are to be explored in this book chapter.
TopIntroduction
Intelligent technologies have been extended from humans to the stuff affecting humans with the advancement of information technology(Whig, Velu, & Naddikatu, 2022). We are surrounded by many smart devices that make our lives simple and comfortably smart, linked to an IoT network, from smart TV to smart farming. The convergence of sensor nets, artificial intelligence, machine learning and others are built with network and information technology, items that allow IoT as a smart system from activity tracking to autonomous vehicle(Alkali et al., 2022a). The Internet of Things describes the whole process from gathering, sorting, taking an action that correlates to the nature of this knowledge to storing it in the cloud. Sensors are used to gather and transmit information to a computing unit that performs comfortable behaviour. The data would then be stored locally and subsequently sent to the cloud service via the internet. IoT systems produce tremendous data where the sensors used in different manufacturing and healthcare applications are interfaced with the devices(Whig, Velu, & Sharma, 2022).
IoT touches each and every industry sector including Agriculture, Healthcare, Business and finance, retail and manufacturing. IoT applications are focusing on societal needs, The Internet of Things will help boost the quality of life of people and provide employees with new and improved careers, business opportunities and market development(Whig, Kouser, Velu, et al., 2022). The Internet of Things would allow objects to acquire knowledge about their location in the universe, to communicate with other objects, and to access data obtained in their proximity for comparative information. IoT may have many applications in various areas like home automation, smart agriculture, autonomous vehicle, smart solar panel, smart energy meter, smart lock, smart village, smart city and much more. In the next decade we would be surrounded by technology and in that technology there would be billions of smart devices connected over the internet for millions of applications. As IoT devices are sharing internet network so there can be an intense concern about the security and privacy of the information that should be a serious issue and challenge must be faced by our Internet security provider from the hacker over the internet(Whig, Velu, & Ready, 2022).
