Internet of Things (IoT)
Overview: The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the technologies that is now growing the quickest in the globe, with new applications being developed every day. The IoT is a network of actual physical things, such as vehicles, appliances, and other items found in homes, that have connectivity, software, and sensors to gather and share data. The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming how we live and work and opening up new opportunities for corporations, governments, and people alike.
Aims: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a multidisciplinary study field that is quickly growing and covers a wide range of goals and objectives. IoT research has a variety of objectives that may include:
- Connectivity, Interoperability, and Security.
- Scalability, Energy Efficiency, and Data Management.
- Edge Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning.
- Environmental Sustainability, and Disaster Management.
- User Experience, Regulation, and Policy.
- Social Impact, and Ethical Considerations.
- Cost-effectiveness, IoT in Developing Regions, and Privacy-Preserving Technologies.
Outputs: The development and advancement of this discipline have been aided by a variety of outputs from IoT (Internet of Things) research. These results can be divided into numerous important categories, including Innovative Technologies and Protocols, Research Papers and Publications, Standards and Guidelines, Open-Source Software and Tools, and Security Solutions. The outputs of IoT research have a broad impact on various sectors, including technology, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and more. They contribute to the ongoing evolution and adoption of IoT technologies and solutions in our increasingly connected world.
Research Areas: IoT has a wide range of uses in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and smart cities. IoT device data can be used to enhance consumer experiences, process optimization, and decision-making. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices that may share data over a network without human or computer interaction, including computers, mechanical and digital equipment, objects, animals, and even people. Top IoT-based research areas are Human-Computer Interaction, Augmented Reality and IoT, Quantum Computing and IoT, Swarm Intelligence and IoT, IoT and 5G, Smart Cities and IoT, Smart Homes, Health, Agriculture and IoT, Industrial and Aerospace IoT, Energy, and Transportation IoT.
Research Projects:
1. Intelligent Technologies-Based Healthcare Monitoring and Management System
Staffing levels across healthcare have hit record lows with an additional 15,000 healthcare workers needed by 2035, according to projections from the ESRI. The goal of this research is to resolve both the emerging urban-rural and interdisciplinary inequalities in healthcare. It would use a comprehensive connectivity system to address the digital divide issue by using Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles such as drones, the Internet of Things (IoT), and wearable devices to form a flexible and robust network.
2. Smart Farming: Internet of Things (IoT)-Based Sustainable Agriculture
Farming still plays an important role in Ireland's and the world’s economic prospects, and today it is facing real threats from climate change, rising energy costs, and food insecurity. This research project investigates the current challenges and finds potential solutions that are used in applications of wireless sensors in IoT agriculture when merging technology with conventional farming activities.
3. A Smart Safety System for Sand/Snow Storm Regions
Dust/sand and snow storms are among nature's most violent and unpredictable phenomena. This research project is based on wireless networks and IoT devices with the help of water shower lines along the highways or inside populated areas to protect against massive damage.
4. Building/House Protection Based on IoT devices and network
The Earth's terrain varies greatly from place to place, and the risk of water damage in a home is high. Every year millions of homeowners suffer billions of dollars in losses. This research is to use battery-powered sensors and IoT devices that can provide the early detection necessary to prevent leaks from creating major damage to your home.
5. IoT-Based Automatic Vehicle Cover System
Most automobiles are manufactured primarily of metal, and the metal is painted to protect it from oxidation and other influences detrimental that may be caused by sun rays, bird droppings, tree sap and pollens, snow, ice, frost, etc. This project relates to an IoT-based automatic vehicle cover system. The system is microcontroller-based which generates the messages and asks permission from the owner to open and close the cover when the weather conditions are not suitable for cars’ body.
