[et al.] (2025) - Internet of robotic things evolution, standards and data interoperability best practices for the next generation of artificial intelligence-powered systems. Journal of Field Robotics. DOI: 10.1002/rob.70063.1556-4959http://hdl.handle.net/10400.11/10395The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) represents the rise of a new paradigm enabling robots to serve not only as autonomous units but also as intelligent interconnected entities that can interact, collaborate, and share information through the edge, cloud and other data networks. IoRT is a technological progress and the fusion of Robotics with the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and edge‐Computing, IoRT can benefit from the next‐generation spatial web, Web 4.0 (the intelligent immersive knowledge Web), by enhancing data processing, situational awareness, and integration with immersive technologies, software‐defined automation (SDA), and spatial computing technologies. Semantic Web and Web 4.0 technologies are becoming common in robotics projects for exchanging data and enabling data set interoperability. The main challenge is to upgrade how robotic things interact with each other and their environment in a more situation‐aware fashion, enabling IoRT situation‐aware capabilities. This paper reviews the definition of IoRT considering the latest developments in sensor technology and data management systems and uses a novel survey methodology to find, classify, and reuse robotic expertise and present it to the community and engineering experts. The survey is shared through the LOV4IoT‐Robotics ontology catalog, which is available online. This catalog demonstrates how best practices for data sharing and data set interoperability are also used to extract robotic knowledge semi‐automatically. A set of relevant semantic‐enabled projects designed by domain experts that focused on extracting robotic knowledge was included.engInternet of robotic thingsSemantic ontologyInteroperabilityStandardsOntology catalogInternet of ThingsReusabilitySemantic web of thingsWeb 4.0Semantic web technologiesReusable knowledgeresearch article10.1002/rob.70063
