As their name suggests, autonomous robots can make things on their own with more accuracy. They can work with humans or even in places where humans can't go. In the past, robots were mostly used in the manufacturing industry to do hard jobs. Today's robots, on the other hand, can do their jobs accurately and quickly, with a focus on safety, flexibility, agility, and collaboration (Buerkle et al., 2023). Warehouses and cargo ports are two places where autonomous robots are used in logistics (Chung, 2021). Fig. 3a & b shows how autonomous robots are changing the way we build and move products around the world (Pillai et al., 2022).

Industry 4.0 needs more and more complex self-driving robots, so their development has been speeding up (Goel & Gupta, 2020: Dal Mas et al., 2019). Kuka, Rethink Robotics, Bionic Robotics, Roberta Gomtec, Honda, ABB, and Fanuc are some of the top companies that are making autonomous robots and coming up with new ideas for them. As the number of ways autonomous robots can be used grows, their architecture will need to be updated with new functional and decision-making parts to meet the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Smart Sensors.
In recent years, many different kinds of smart sensors have been made to meet the needs of industry 4.0. Some examples of smart products that are made with these sensors include automobile design and operation as shown in fig. 4a & 4b (Manimuthu et al., 2022). Others include smart dust, smart cameras, smart phones, and smart houses (Sehrawat & Gill, 2019). Smart sensors are often used to keep an eye on things (Yang et al., 2020). Smart sensors are used in high-tech medical applications as well as in systems that monitor water and flood levels, gases, the
automobile des environment, the health of structures, equipment, and remote fault diagnosis in machines including vehicles (Andrejevic & Volcic, 2021: Zhen & Shilin, 2019). With the start of the industrial 4.0 age, these smart sensors will be added to the IoT system, and their development will continue to skyrocket (Nagy & Lăzăroiu, 2022). Because temperature, proximity, optical, pressure, and ultrasonic smart sensors are being used more and more ,it is now possible to build smart homes, smart cities, and smart grids (Sehrawat & Gill, 2019).
