Now, we are implementing the 4th industrial revolution and we are changing faster than ever before.
Our industrial talk 1 was focused on the industrial revolution 4 (IR 4.0). The speaker has mentioned some of the components that represent the IR 4.0 such as Autonomous Robots, IoT, Big Data, and Augmented Reality. Autonomous Robots are machines that can perform tasks without the help of human control. With cloud computing we can use network servers that are hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process our data. The IoT connects everything in our life to the internet, our cars, home, and all our digital devices.
