Smart Internet of Things Projects

Key Features

Learn how to extract and analyse data from physical devices and build smart IoT projects
Master the skills of building enticing projects such as a neural network autonomous car, computer vision through a camera, and cloud-based IoT applications
This project-based guide leverages revolutionary computing chips such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and so on

Book Description

Internet of Things (IoT) is a groundbreaking technology that involves connecting numerous physical devices to the Internet and controlling them. Creating basic IoT projects is common, but imagine building smart IoT projects that can extract data from physical devices, thereby making decisions by themselves.

Our book overcomes the challenge of analyzing data from physical devices and accomplishes all that your imagination can dream up by teaching you how to build smart IoT projects. Basic statistics and various applied algorithms in data science and machine learning are introduced to accelerate your knowledge of how to integrate a decision system into a physical device.

This book contains IoT projects such as building a smart temperature controller, creating your own vision machine project, building an autonomous mobile robot car, controlling IoT projects through voice commands, building IoT applications utilizing cloud technology and data science, and many more. We will also leverage a small yet powerful IoT chip, Raspberry Pi with Arduino, in order to integrate a smart decision-making system in the IoT projects.

What you will learn

Implement data science in your IoT projects and build a smart temperature controller
Create a simple machine learning application and implement decision system concepts
Develop a vision machine using OpenCV
Build a robot car with manual and automatic control
Implement speech modules with your own voice commands for IoT projects
Connect IoT to a cloud-based server
