Internet Of Things: The Next Big Thing


       

Did you know by 2008, there were already more internet connected devices than there were human beings on our planet! Today every electronic device around you has latest IoT systems that change the way we operate on a daily basis.

Want to know more about IoT technology? or maybe you are looking for developing the next IoT product that will transform the world? If so, this is the perfect place to get started.



So what is IoT? According to the most important IoT experts/ influencer, Internet of things is a pervasive technology. Its effects are spanned across different sectors like:
•    Transportation     
•     Retail
•     Smart cities
•     Agriculture
•    Manufacturing
•    Healthcare


Generally speaking, Internet of things is an environment, or an ecosystem, where smart objects (including of course smartphones and so on) connect each other.
These smart objects are always, anytime, anywhere connected.
They exchange data, sending it to the cloud.
 IoT cloud platforms collect this data and analyze the information.
As a result, they activate other processes. Moreover, the analysis result is useful to make predictions


An object is smart when it is able to connect to the Internet and exchange data. An object can be a simple sensor that measures the environment temperature, the pressure etc. It must be able to connect to the network and send the measured data.
Another smart object, much more complex, is a smartwatch. It can monitor our health for example, or,  more generally speaking, wearable objects.


If you want to get started, an IoT project is usually made of these things:

•                   Microcontroller (smart object)
•                   An internet connection (connected device)
•                   Sensors, Servos (get information)
•                   IoT cloud platform (optional) (send data to the cloud)

You’re fresh out of junior college, and there are so many options available in engineering that it’s enough to make you crazy! But we have put together a ready resource that will take away the confusion and worry and allow you to make an informed decision, and rock your engineering life! Here is a step-by-step approach to select the best engineering branch for you. There are approximately more than 1.5 lakh seats available in Maharashtra, according to our sources, with more than 29,000 seats in Mumbai alone, and 55,000 in Pune. In Mumbai, engineering streams such as Computer Science, EXTC and Mechanical have more than 15,000 seats available, which means that 50% of the seats are with these streams. After these branches come IT, Civil and Electronics, with 3,000 seats each. The final few are niche streams such as Electrical, Instrumentation, Chemical, Biomedical, Automobile and Production. So don’t worry, admission “KIDHAR TOH MIL JAAYEGA” There are many different type...

Robotics: the next generation re-programmed

Image
"Did you know that the car that you drive is made by a robot! Yes that’s right robots are programmed to assemble your car and the finishing touches are done by human hands". Robotics is a branch of technology that revolves around innovation of robots. It deals with design, construction, operation and application of robots.  A robot is a type of machine that can be programmed through any source, with the most common one being a computer.  It can be modified as per your needs and can execute complex series of programs. It is also called an automated machine, because they work automatically.    Now you might be wondering how can I differentiate between a robot and a machine. A machine is pre-programmed i.e. it has one job to do, for example your fan has the job to just move round and round. However a Robot can be programmed to perform multiple tasks and can be re-programmed to fit your needs. In robotics you design, innovate, construct, operate, prog...
