The Internet of Things (IoT) is a big hype around the world though few can intelligibly explain what it is about. Is it simply about household appliances that communicate through air and order home deliveries? Or is it about robotic factories with no humans involved or unmanned vehicles exchanging traffic information?
Dmitry Lakontsev will explain what smart things have in common, why it is so difficult to embrace their diversity, and most importantly, when we should expect them to populate our reality. The lecture will reveal the ins and outs of the Internet of Things, focusing on the IoT global trends and real technology usage examples. Join the lecture to step into a world of sensor technology, embedded systems, telecommunications networks, data science and artificial intelligence!
