Description of module content:

Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging network of physical objects that connects various sensors, software, and other technologies to the Internet. The aim of this module is to learn about design and development of IoT systems, including embedded architecture of IoT, technologies and autonomous systems. On this module you will learn concepts, practical aspects and applications of sensors, wireless technologies, robotic systems, data collection (and related processing technologies) for remote control of objects. The following topics will be covered: Introduction to Internet of Things, basic concepts and the state of the art technology used in IoT systems. Transducers and sensors Drones and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) Autonomous systems sub-components : Sensors, motion control and intelligent decision making (i.e. an introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Techniques).
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Describe and evaluate key technologies related to Internet-of-Things and their applications for autonomous systems.

LO2: Describe and discuss a comprehensive understanding of the data transmission and processing for IoT systems.

LO3: Demonstrate the appropriate standards in designing and implementing IoT hardware.

Assessment
Type of Assessment Weighting % LOs covered Week due Length in Hours/Words Description
Report 60 3~4~5 Week 12 , WORDS= 3000 This assessment consists of a report divided into four distinct sections. Each section corresponds to a separate homework assignment distributed over the course of the trimester. The overall grade for the report, which constitutes 60% of the total, will be calculated by adding together the grades of these four homework assignments, with each contributing 15%.
Final Year Project 40 1~2~3~4~5 Week 13 , WORDS= 3000 A Final Project Demonstration and Presentation: Each student is given a final project topic. They are then required to exhibit their final project through a brief presentation. Additionally, a concise documentation to describe the project, accompanied by the relevant codes, must be submitted.
