This talk is about making sure we all know what IoT is, what are its challenges and most importantly - how to do it right and what is possible to develop for ourselves.

3. What is the Internet of Things?

4. The Internet of Things
• The term Internet of Things
was first used by Kevin Ashton
in 1999 through the Auto-ID
Center at MIT.
• Refers to uniquely iden:fiable
objects (things) and their
virtual representa7ons in an
Internet-like structure

5. The Internet of Things
“Internet of
Objects”
“Machine-to-
Machine Era”
(1) The Internet of Things, also called The
Internet of Objects, refers to a wireless network
between objects, usually the network will be
wireless and self-configuring, such as household
appliances.

Everything”

6. The Internet of Things
“Internet of
Objects”
“Machine-to-
Machine Era”
(2) Internet of Things refers to the concept that
the Internet is no longer just a global network for
people to communicate with one another using
computers, but it is also a plaXorm for devices to
communicate electronically with the world around
them.”
--Center for Data and Innova:on
“Internet of
Everything”

7. Internet Evolu:on

8. Internet Usage and Popula7on Stats

10. The Future of IoT
"The Sky's not the limit. It's only the beginning with IoT."

11. The Poten7al of IoT
GE’s es:mates on poten:al of just ONE percent savings applied
using IoT across global industry sectors.

12. Challenges
• Society: People, security, privacy
– A policy for people in the Internet of Things:
– Autonomy and Control
• Environmental aspects
– Resource efficiency
– Pollu:on and disaster avoidance
• Technological
– Architecture (edge devices, servers, discovery services, security,
privacy, etc.)
– Governance, naming, iden:ty, interfaces
– Service openness, interoperability
– Standards
– Connec:ons of real and virtual world
– Fault Tolerance
– Data Volumes

13. IoT Architecture

14. An IOT plaXorm has basically three building blocks
1. Things
2. Gateway
3. Network and Cloud

16. IoT Gateway

17. The heart of a cloud plaXorm could use open source boards like the Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black,
Intel Galileo etc. These are usual Linux boards that run different flavours of Linux like Raspbian on the
Raspberry Pi, Angstrom on the Beaglebone etc. These boards interface with devices on the one hand
and the cloud plaXorm on the other and connect the data with the powerful house where it can be
stored and analyzed.

20. IoT Network Interfaces

21. The next interface we look at is the cloud interface. This is achieved using a simple WiFi dongle or a GPRS shield. The WiFi dongle interfaces
over USB and the GPRS shield uses the serial interface. Also available is the Ethernet port which could be used for interface.

26. "The Ul7mate Goal of IOT is to Automate Human Life."
What everyone of us can benefit?

31. What athletes can benefit?

35. How to Make it faster/safer?

36. Important ques:ons for Athletes?
• When exactly while I am running my pulse is
highest?
• What percentage of the distance I am in the
top 20% of my pulse?
• What :me do I need to recover?
• Am I in correct posture (all the :me during the
distance)?
• etc.

37. • inves:gate "how (well)"
an ac:vity was performed
by the wearer
• 3 aspects that pertain to
qualita:ve ac:vity
recogni:on:
– correct execu:on,
– the automa:c and robust
detec:on of execu:on
mistakes, and
– how to provide feedback
on the quality of execu:on
to the user.
Weight liling
exercises

38. • exactly according to the
specifica:on (Class A),
• throwing the elbows to
the front (Class B),
• liling the dumbbell
only halfway (Class C),
• lowering the dumbbell
only halfway (Class D)
• throwing the hips to the
front (Class E)
