A STUDY ON 5G CONNECTIVITY AND IOT ROBOTICS FOR SMART AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING

Abstract

This paper analyses the benefits of digital technologies in different industries and countries. We cross-referenced 100 papers as a significant sample pool and comparatively analysed the (1) adoption rate, (2) applications in different industries, (3) benefits of digital technologies, (4) Prominent adoption countries, and (5) the impact of COVID-19. Our results show (1) that Artificial Intelligence (AI) [14%] and Internet of Things (IoT) [32%] are the two most dominant digital technologies, (2) the healthcare sector [17%] is the main area of application of digital technologies, (3) with China [8%] and India [11%] being the two most dominant application countries, (4) Application of digital technologies would lead to better productivity [23%], (5) COVID-19 has led to the spike in adoption rates [77%]. An analysis of the combination of these digital technologies with 5G followed by a review on the current limitations of the adoption of these digital technologies in Singapore and other nations. Some of the keywords are: Digital technology, COVID-19, benefits of digital technologies, digital technology adoption, application of digital technologies in COVID-19.
