Internet Of Things (IOT)
The Internet of Things as a technological infrastructure emerged in the 2000s. The Internet of Things (IoT) connects physical objects with the virtual world. Intelligent devices and machines are connected to each other and digitally to the internet. With the help of technology, they collect relevant information about their local environment, analyze and link it. Based on this information, the devices perform specific tasks. For example, a sensor measures the outside temperature, whereupon the smart device in which it is installed turns up the heating. All this happens automatically, without any active intervention by the user. If desired, the user can control the IoT devices remotely, for example via an app on a smartphone.
Drone Technology
A drone is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems. Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its embedded systems, that work in conjunction with onboard sensors and a global positioning system (GPS). UAVs were most often associated with the military. They were initially used for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering and, more controversially, as weapons platforms. Drones are now also used in a range of civilian roles, search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring, firefighting, personal use, drone-based photography, videography, agriculture, delivery services.
RaspberryPi
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python. It’s capable of doing everything you’d expect a desktop computer to do, from browsing the internet and playing high-definition video, to making spreadsheets, word-processing, and playing games. Raspberry Pi is popularly used for real time Image processing, IoT based applications and Robotics applications.
Arduino
Arduino is a prototype platform (open-source) based on an easy-to-use hardware and software. It consists of a circuit board, which can be programed (referred to as a microcontroller) and a ready-made software called Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment), which is used to write and upload the computer code to the physical board. Arduino boards are able to read analog or digital input signals from different sensors and turn it into an output such as activating a motor, turning LED on/off, connect to the cloud and many other actions. Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, Arduino does not need an extra piece of hardware in order to load a new code onto the board. You can simply use a USB cable
Robotics
Robot is a programmable machine that imitates the actions or appearance of an intelligent creature, usually a human. Robotics is the engineering and operation of machines that can autonomously or semi-autonomously perform physical tasks on behalf of a human. Typically robots perform tasks that are either highly repetitive or too dangerous for a human to carry out safely.
