Abstract

Internet of Things consists of several interconnected physical devices through the internet, whereas fog and cloud technologies are hosting tasks responsible for device controlling and management. Such an environment is significantly scalable, and its capacity to handle a large volume of data is proven. For this reason, we propose an IoT architecture featuring necessary technologies to cope with robot orchestration and monitoring. At the fog level, an IoT platform is deployed with all required features to monitor robots remotely. The modeled system in BIP has been wholly instantiated in a real infrastructure after formally checking and simulation against requirements by applying classical code simulation and statistical model checking.
