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.

Personal IoT


The personal IoT is dominated by the use of wearables, technological devices designed to be worn on body, they are used in tandem with an app on a smartphone. The first wearable available was the Pulsar Calculator watch made by Time Computer Inc, USA (at that time known as Hamilton Watch Company). It was a standalone device not connected to the internet. Soon, with the growth of the internet, wearables that can connect to the internet became a fad. The wearables market is expected to jump from an estimate of 325million in 2016 to over 830million by 2020:

This graph shows the number of wearables worldwide from 2016–2021 (data source: Statista). With so many devices connected online, continuously generating data, AI/ML tools are a natural choice to analyze this data and make informed decisions. In this section, you will learn about some successful personal IoT applications.
