Study Notes

Internet of Things (IoT) Overview

  • The main goal of IoT is to connect and integrate physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items, enabling them to collect and exchange data, and interact with the physical world.

IoT Components

Controller

  • A controller is a device that receives data from sensors, processes it, and sends commands to actuators to perform specific actions.

Sensor

  • A sensor is a device that detects and measures physical parameters, such as temperature, humidity, or motion, and sends the data to a controller or processing unit.

Actuator

  • An actuator is a device that performs a specific action in response to a command from a controller, such as opening a valve, moving a robotic arm, or turning on a light.

IoT Infrastructure

The Internet's Role

  • The internet provides the connectivity and infrastructure for IoT devices to communicate with each other, share data, and interact with the physical world.
