Internet of Things

IoT has become a large part of our daily lives now without us even knowing, it is almost impossible to live without our devices in this modern era, web-enabled devices make everything possible and easy for us these days, every web-enabled device or a smart device is connected to the internet or the intranet of devices, this module will guide you to the world of Internet of things where we'll touch upon its major aspects, and how IoT is changing the world, Happy learning Ninjas!!

Introduction to IoT

Over the past few years, technology has improved drastically and with this has increased the human urge to have everything at hand has also increased, people may have different opinions about this, but looking from a technological point of view we’ve come a long way, automated homes, electric vehicles, smart healthcare, smart appliances, these keywords have become very popular, but what are they exactly and what is their backbone which not only combines these different fields together but is a separate field in itself in which has its own challenges and advantages, this field combines conventional and nonconventional areas of engineering and sciences together, combines both hardware and software, makes an interconnection between devices and becomes the “Internet of Things”. This section introduces you to the world of the Internet of Things and gives you a basic idea about how it works, what are its layers, what challenges we face in this field, its future scope, and much more!!

IoT Environment

An IoT system consists of many things, keeping the IoT layer model aside, there are several things and protocols that need a special mention, these are the things that make a basic IoT environment, these protocols are famous in the developer community and if one must learn about IoT they need to have a good understanding of these protocols. So we’re gonna look at some of these protocols, and understand their roles and advantages over each other. Additionally, we’re going to cover some basic aspects of IoT hardware as well.

Sensors and Actuators

One of the main components of IoT devices is its hardware part, as the very definition of IoT refers to the link between hardware and software, but how do you actually link these two, processors or computers only process the signals and computations digitally, but where do they actually pick up physical signals or provides the response which processor gives?? This work is done by Sensors and Actuators, read this section to know more about these physical components which form a major part of IoT.

IoT Communication

IoT communication is one of the most important aspects of learning the Internet of Things, communication, in general, is probably the most important part of humans too, we can communicate effectively with each other that’s why we are the most intelligent species on earth, we communicate to exchange ideas, thoughts and to make our point, and making a machine or a device that can communicate with other devices is one of the most challenging parts, but rewarding too. Inspiration to make machines comes from our deep knowledge of nature. We try to mimic nature in our artificial work, and that’s why our work is effective too. So we can say that without proper and effective communication there’s no Internet of Things. In this section, we’ll learn about some effective communication protocols and learn them in detail and see where we can apply them.
