    Study Notes

    Internet of Things (IoT) Overview

    • The term "Internet of Things" was coined by Kevin Ashton.
    • IoT refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity, allowing them to collect and exchange data.

    Engineers' Role in IoT

    • Engineers play a crucial role in building IoT products by designing and developing the hardware and software components.

    Industries for IoT Applications

    • IoT can be used to build applications in various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and home automation.

    'Things' in IoT

    • The term 'Things' in IoT refers to physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items that are embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity.
    • Examples of 'things' in IoT include:
      • Home appliances (e.g., thermostats, lights, security systems) in IoT-based home automation systems
      • Wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches, fitness trackers)
      • Industrial equipment (e.g., machines, robots) in manufacturing

    Sensors in IoT

    • Sensors play a crucial role in IoT by collecting data from the environment and sending it to machines for processing.
    • Machines typically act on input information received from sensors.
    • Sensors allow machines to make sense of their environments by converting physical parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure) into digital data.

    Communication in IoT

    • Communication between various 'things' in IoT takes place with the help of the internet.
    • Devices can be paired with an internet connection to collect information from the environment in IoT.

    Advantages of IoT

    • The primary advantage of IoT-enabled systems is their ability to receive information and act on it, enabling real-time decision-making and automation.
