2017-IoT

Spring 2017, CSIE Room 65104, 09:10~12:00 Tuesday

Instructor: Kun-chan Lan
(this course is offered in English)

an introductory course to teach you how to become a “maker” of Internet of Things (IoT) technology using publicly-available open-sourced tools
Goal:
- a brief walk-through of the open-source tools (both hardware and software) you can use to create an IoT application.
- Create your own IoT product at the end of the course.

Objectives

  • We start an introduction of various open-sourced tools such as Arduino, Android, and Hadoop
  • Followed by with describing the theoretical part of IoT technology
  • Guide you through the cycle from having an idea to finally creating a real product 
  • A strong hands-on focus 

Scope

  • Arduino
  • Android programming
  • Hadoop
  • Sensor Network
  • Localization
  • Introduction to machine learning 

Prerequisite

  • Programming knowledge in Java/C++ (should have been covered in Program Design I/II)

Term Project

Make a $1000 smart watch
Basic requirement: A watch can
**  Display time (LCD) – on board
**  Counting your step (accelerometer) – on phone
**  Estimate your pressure (HRV + LF/HF) (heart rate sensor) – on phone or on cloud
**  Bonus credits (up to 10% of the total credits) will be given if you can do more function (e.g. estimate sleep cycle)
What you need to do:
**  Decide the functions you want to implement
**  Find the algorithms on the internet
**  Buy the needed sensors/equipment ($1000 will be given to each team)
**  Implement the algorithms and assemble the parts into a watch
**  Demo your product 

What should be in the project report?
- What functions you plan to implement in your smart watch
- The algorithms you’re going to use to implement your functions
- How your watch is supposed to look like (e.g. a 3D model of your watch)
Project report
You will need to submit a 2 pages project report that explains what you plan to do for your project and how exactly you are going to do it
Due: 05/02/2017 

Demo your project
In the end of semester, you will demo your project in-class
Each team has to make 5-min video to demo your project
The video should be uploaded to youtube
The project demo will be scored by me and also peer students
What the demo should look like?

Project evaluation
Mid-term
2 page, 11-pt-font, double-spaced report that describes/explain your project (10%)
