Summary:

Facing intensifying labor constraints, rising operational costs, and escalating safety demands, industrial robotics is becoming important as a fundamental infrastructure in IoT scenarios, to address critical challenges where humans reach their limits, including labor shortages & skills gaps, soaring operational costs, high-risk work hazards, and work in extreme environments. This draft Recommendation introduces an intelligent robot system for industrial IoT scenarios: −The intelligent robots carry out the industrial IoT tasks based on the user’s request. −An industrial task coordination center dynamically allocates the tasks to the intelligent robots in the industrial park, and then gives feedback to the execution of the intelligent robots to optimize the robot execution. To satisfy the capability requirements of the intelligent robot system, this draft Recommendation proposes the 4-layer capability framework of intelligent robots in the industrial scenarios and for IoT services. Requirements and capabilities are specified at multiple layers. The framework aligns with the IoT reference model defined in [ITU-T Y.4000]. The purpose of this draft Recommendation is to significantly improve the production efficiency with the IoT system in the industry.
