IoT & Smart Systems

Create interconnected smart systems that leverage Internet of Things (IoT) technology to solve real-world problems across residential, urban, and industrial environments by integrating sensing, communication, data processing, and intelligent decision-making. These systems rely on distributed networks of sensors and actuators embedded in physical infrastructure to collect real-time data such as temperature, humidity, motion, energy consumption, traffic flow, and equipment performance. At the edge layer, microcontrollers and embedded devices perform local data acquisition and preliminary processing. Connectivity protocols such as MQTT, HTTP, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, or 5G enable reliable data transmission to centralized cloud platforms or edge servers. Cloud computing infrastructure supports scalable storage, analytics, and machine learning models that transform raw sensor data into actionable insights. In smart homes, IoT systems optimize energy usage, automate lighting and climate control, enhance security monitoring, and improve convenience through voice or mobile interfaces. In smart cities, interconnected systems manage traffic congestion, waste collection, public safety, and environmental monitoring. In industrial settings, Industrial IoT (IIoT) enables predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and real-time process control. Cybersecurity, data privacy, interoperability standards, and fault tolerance are critical design considerations to ensure reliability and user trust. By combining hardware engineering, networking, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, IoT-driven smart systems improve efficiency, sustainability, safety, and operational intelligence across multiple domains.
