Smart Internet of Things Projects

By: Agus Kurniawan

Overview of this book

Internet of Things (IoT) is a groundbreaking technology that involves connecting numerous physical devices to the Internet and controlling them. Creating basic IoT projects is common, but imagine building smart IoT projects that can extract data from physical devices, thereby making decisions by themselves. Our book overcomes the challenge of analyzing data from physical devices and accomplishes all that your imagination can dream up by teaching you how to build smart IoT projects. Basic statistics and various applied algorithms in data science and machine learning are introduced to accelerate your knowledge of how to integrate a decision system into a physical device. This book contains IoT projects such as building a smart temperature controller, creating your own vision machine project, building an autonomous mobile robot car, controlling IoT projects through voice commands, building IoT applications utilizing cloud technology and data science, and many more. We will also leverage a small yet powerful IoT chip, Raspberry Pi with Arduino, in order to integrate a smart decision-making system in the IoT projects.

Building data science-based cloud


After we have acquired data through physical sensor devices, we obtain some data. The next question is, What do we do with this data? In this case, we should analyze the data to obtain insight. Machine learning, data science, and data mining are common terms related to data analytics.

Investing in machines to compute machine learning algorithms can be very expensive. One alternative solution is to implement machine learning— or data science-based cloud servers.

Several cloud providers provide data analytics services to manage large amounts of data. It covers various machine learning algorithms. Companies, for instance, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, offer this service included IoT boards connectivity.

In this section, I will explain how to work with Microsoft Azure Machine Learning. To develop machine learning, Microsoft provides us with Azure ML Studio. You can read about it at https://studio.azureml.net/.

For our demo scenario, we use a common problem to classify...
