managed and controlled more easily and efficiently. IoT sensors are used in homes, out in the field, in automobiles, on airplanes, in industrial settings and in other environments. Sensors
1. Sensors & actuators These are the “things” in Internet of Things. Sensors and actuators are responsible for collecting information from their respective environments and turning it into useful data. Some of these things include accelerometers, thermometers, air-quality sensors, and heart rate mo...
Field level: The field level includes field devices like sensors, actuators and other devices. These devices monitor and control the physical processes and are connected to RTUs or PLCs. Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs): RTUs or PLCs collect data from field...
Used to be human-centric, but sensors are increasingly being used to gather data about actuator performance, and machine learning (ML) algorithms are being used to automatically adjust an actuator’s position, speed, or force. How Actuators Work Actuators work by converting an energy source into...
Robots are programmable machines with sensors, actuators, and computer systems that can be used to automate tasks, perform dangerous or repetitive work, and explore new environments. Robots may resemble people or take the form of software applications that replicate how users interact with software ...
IoT refers to a network of devices, vehicles, appliances and other physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software and network connectivity.
Gather information: Identify and connect to sensors and a variety of internal and external data sources. Convert raw data into a usable format as needed. Make a plan: Assess the current state and potential future states. Develop strategies to achieve the goal. Evaluate and choose the most suita...
(2016) Sophia, a humanoid robot dubbed the first robot citizen, is created by Hanson Robotics. The robot is capable of facial recognition, verbal communication and facial expression. 2020s (2020) Robots are used to distribute Covid-19 tests and vaccinations. ...
