Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for IoT - Second Edition

By: Amita Kapoor

Overview of this book

There are many applications that use data science and analytics to gain insights from terabytes of data. These apps, however, do not address the challenge of continually discovering patterns for IoT data. In Hands-On Artificial Intelligence for IoT, we cover various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and its implementation to make your IoT solutions smarter. This book starts by covering the process of gathering and preprocessing IoT data gathered from distributed sources. You will learn different AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing to build smart IoT systems. You will also leverage the power of AI to handle real-time data coming from wearable devices. As you progress through the book, techniques for building models that work with different kinds of data generated and consumed by IoT devices such as time series, images, and audio will be covered. Useful case studies on four major application areas of IoT solutions are a key focal point of this book. In the concluding chapters, you will leverage the power of widely used Python libraries, TensorFlow and Keras, to build different kinds of smart AI models. By the end of this book, you will be able to build smart AI-powered IoT apps with confidence.

Introduction to AI-powered industrial IoT


The convergence of IoT, robotics, big data, and machine learning (ML) is creating enormous opportunities for industrial firms as well as significant challenges.

The availability of low-cost sensors, multiple cloud platforms, and powerful edge infrastructure is making it easier and profitable for industries to adopt AI. This AI-powered industrial IoT is transforming the way companies provide products and services or interact with customers and partners.

 

One of the promising areas of the AI-powered industrial IoT is preventive maintenance. Until now, industrial firms used to be reactive concerning maintenance, in the sense that they will perform maintenance either as a part of a fixed schedule, such as every six months, or only when some equipment stops functioning. For instance, a logistics company may have biannual service checks of every vehicle in its fleet and replace certain parts or entire vehicles on a set schedule. This reactive maintenance...
