Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects and establishes communication between physical objects from creatures to machinery over the Internet without human involvement that is embedded with sensors, actuators, software, and various other technologies linked together through wired or wireless networks. In the foreseeable future, the application fields of the Internet of Things will increase continuously and dramatically. This paper considers the current progress of the Internet of Things in the real world and presents various tangible applications of IoT in field of agriculture, industries, smart retails, automated systems, smart buildings, automotive IoT, wearable items, transportation, covid -19, e-health, security and intrusion detection. The paper also provides overview of the collaborative applications of the Internet of Things with Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Wireless Sensor Networks, Cloud Computing, Data Management, Cryptography and Blockchain to disseminate its applications for a better understanding of the research community to apply IoT in further innovative fields.
