Internet of Things is among the newest technology in the industrial and development sector. It has created a huge wave and influenced the manner we communicate and share the information. The IoT technology connects devices to each other, and to the people who use it in their daily life. Leading Industries have transformed their development towards Internet of Things; therefore, companies are in search of professionals who have strong fundamental knowledge in the concepts of Internet of Things. With specialization in this field, the young and talented graduates can develop lucrative IT careers.
Internet of Things (IoT) has already transformed the way the world works. Just take a look at the way things are becoming smart and autonomous – most of the IoT devices don’t need human intervention anymore - they can self-maintain, self-propel and self-drive. A car is becoming smart enough to avoid sudden mishaps. The cameras on the road are intelligent enough to take pictures of any casualty and inform the emergency team, or the police. All this is possible because of sensors, microcontrollers, and network security embedded in IoT objects. This is why IoT is seen as the next big thing in technology, which will transform the employment landscape in the IT industry.
Between 2014 and 2017, the demand for IoT talent has accelerated by 300%. With IoT fast approaching, Gartner predicted that by 2020 there would be more than 50 billion devices connected to the Internet of Things. These are the professionals who keep an eagle eye on the execution part of the project. Their job roles vary from development to marketing. They collaborate with development teams to take care of business requirements and implementations.
Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of technology that deals with design, construction, control and operation of a robot. A simple robot is a machine that is embedded with a sensor, a processor and an end effectors whose application may vary depending upon its connected sensors, end effectors and information processing.
The robot has a temperature/light sensor as its sensing element for fire and a water sprayer and motors as its end effectors. The robot is capable of detecting the event of fire, trace the exact location of fire and spraying the water to the detected location. The control commands to the end effectors based on the sensory feedbacks are given by the Atmega128 processor.
The surveillance robot can be used for both commercial and defense purposes. The robot consists of an onboard wireless camera that can stream sequence of images through zigbee protocol. The actuators of the robot can be remotely controlled by establishing Bluetooth connection between the processor and the controlling joystick.
The robot is a miniature working model of an industry standard crane whose arm movements are actuated by the pneumatic linear actuators. The robot has one circular degree of freedom provided by the vertically mounted DC motor and three degree of freedom provided by the linear actuators. The robot navigation is achieved through the differential drive of the horizontal DC motors.
The robot has an onboard arm mechanism that act as an mechanical gripper to hold and release the objects. The gripper movement is manually controlled by controlling the actuator and the robot makes a differential motion to move from one point to another.
The dynamics of the robot is similar to the Mars rover- Curiosity. The robot has an onboard wireless camera mounted on the servo drive which gives a 360 degree field of view of the surroundings. The robot is powered with the 6 differential drive DC motors which is controlled centrally by the Atmega128 processor.
The robot is mounted with the array of ultrasonic proximity sensors whose output are monitored by the processor. When a sensor reads a value below its threshold, the corresponding motor is actuated to make the robot turn towards a safer direction.
