Chapter 3The Things in IoT: Sensors and Actuators3.1 IntroductionThe Internet of Things (IoT) was def i ned in Chap. 1 as the intersection of theInternet, things, and data. Processes and standards were also added for a morecomprehensive IoT def i nition. Things were def i ned as anything...
This flexible binding solution is utilized further to build IoT applications through RESTlets. RESTlets are defined to accept inputs and produce outputs after performing some processing tasks. Sensors and actuators could be associated with RESTle...
The significant difference between IoT Sensors and Actuators is that IoT sensors record and receive the properties of physical assets like an industrial machine. While the IoT Actuator allows a change in the same assets, in smart systems, this change is invariably affected by the data captured by...
An embedded system might comprise multiple sensors and actuators. For example, a system might include several sensors that gather environmental information, which is converted and sent to the processor. Once processed, the data is converted again and sent on to several actuators, which carry out pr...

Processor and memory, power supply, wireless connection, sensors, and actuators are the five major modules in smart wearable devices. Among these, the sensor is the most innovative of the five modules and the "heart" of human-machine communication. Wearable gadgets can now accomplish more accurat...
Things are fitted with electronics, software, actuators and sensors. They can be battery operated, electricity powered or use RFID transponders. Things collect raw data from the environments. Each thing has a unique identifiable address and of varying computational capability and complexity. ...
The Internet of Things envisions a Web-connected infrastructure of sensing and actuation devices. However, the current state of the art presents another reality: monolithic end-to-end applications tightly coupled to a limited set of sensors and actuators. Growing such applications with new devices ...
7.27. The platform ensures the provisioning and connection of sensors, smart meters, and actuators to the network and enables collection, processing, and exchange of data among the related components. In Fig. 7.27 the InfluxData Telegraf, InfluxDB, Chronograf, Kapacitor (TICK) Stack, composed ...
Device layer.This layer represents the devices -- or things -- that translate the physical world into digital data and back again. Devices include sensors and actuators that might number into the hundreds of thousands for an IoT deployment. Each device connects to a network using wired or, mor...
