The Internet of Things in Our Everyday Life

IoT(Internet of things),  something that is very fast emerging to be the next big thing in our world. When many would be not familiar with the concept of IoT, a lot will be familiar with their applications. For Example, when you can control your AC by your smartphone or using a smartwatch that gives you real-time biometric readings.


IoT is all about making all the devices in your everyday life to act smart. IoT provides a super platform for the devices to get connected. All the devices can send and receive messages through this connection with the help of sensors in the devices. According to business insider intelligence, 24 billion IoT devices will be installed by the year 2020.

Can Artificial Intelligence & machine learning give a boost to the growth of IoT?
AI and machine learning in IoT

Artificial Intelligence is no longer confined to the Sci-fiction movies but has indeed become a reality now. Artificial intelligence is a broad concept that is loosely defined, it is something that makes the computers behave like they have human intelligence. It gives the machine the ability to learn, solve the problem and think logically.

Many people still doubt where is AI used (remove the pictures of Roberts from your head when say AI), you have used it while watching Netflix, web searching through Google Assistant, Mobile banking & filters used in Email etc. Now that's the tricky part, we didn't even realize its the machine that is giving the shots here. 

Machine learning is a part of AI where the machine is trained in the same way as a child or a pet to have human intelligence. It is an application of AI that provides machine the ability to automatically learn and improve from their experience.

Now you know that AI and machine learning will aid you in problem-solving and you can do a lot more work in less time. Then why not utilize AI and machine learning to bring out the true potential of IoT.

Achieving financial benefits through IoT has become difficult. And the reason is that we cannot minimize the cost without affecting its performance. For example, industrial companies produce a massive amount of data on a daily basis. However large, companies fail to systematically collect, store, analyze and use such data to improve process efficiency or meet other goals. We need to find a more effective method to organize the data.


Real-time decision-making in IoT systems is still challenging due to cost, form factor limitations, latency, power consumption, and other considerations. We use AI, Big Data & Machine learning to overcome this issue and optimize the performance per dollar and performance per power consumption. 


For Example, Edge TPU is Google’s purpose-built ASIC chip designed to run machine learning (ML) models for edge computing which was announced in July 2018. It uses the Cloud IoT Edge software stack, which combines gateway functions using the Edge IoT Core software, with Edge ML, a machine learning runtime based on TensorFlowLite.


What that really changes with IoT with the implementation of AI and Machine learning is that we are moving from connectivity of the devices to intelligence. Without real intelligence or insights on the data that is generated by those devices, it is really hard to get the investments in return. According to the study, the data generated by the IoT devices will be 40 billion Zettabyte by the year 2025, which is a huge amount of data which is mostly real-time data, and decision making here will become difficult.

Based on previous experiences, Cloud IoT core was introduced, which is a fully managed service that provides us with an easy and secure connection with millions of different devices in different areas and thus manage their data easily.

So in the future, many real-time applications will emerge in IoT by combining AI and machine learning that gives the computing power to analyze the huge data generated by IoT devices.

"Imagine a future where the ambiance in our house will be preset daily according to our mental and physical comforts automatically."

Wind Turbines

By
The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the building.Three large wind turbines are suspended between two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically tapered to funnel wind and draw air into the turbines. This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide turbine rotors. The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper - approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes. Source: www.norwin.dk

New record energy efficiency for artificial photosynthesis

By
As the world moves towards developing new avenues of renewable energy, the efficiencies of producing fuels such as hydrogen must increase to the point that they rival or exceed those of conventional energy sources to make them a viable alternative. Now researchers at Monash University in Melbourne claim to have created a solar-powered device that produces hydrogen at a world-record 22 percent efficiency, which is a significant step towards making cheap, efficient hydrogen production a reality. Efficiency records for solar-powered hydrogen production have continued to rise over the years, and much more rapidly as the technology and techniques improve. Even as late as December last year  Gizmag reported  a solar-driven hydrogen record efficiency at the time of just 12.3 percent, so this new record shows a very healthy 10 percent improvement on that and beats out the previous record of 18 percent. Splitting water using electricity to produce hydrogen and oxygen has been a...

10 URLs to Find Out What Google Knows About You

By
Google is much more than just a search giant. It is also home to many of your favorite products: Gmail, YouTube, and Chrome, just to name a few. Apart from that, it also offers many products to help you  keep track of your data . Most of these are  hidden deep  inside the My Account dashboard, which many users don’t really know of. These hidden tools  may reveal interesting details  about your usage of Google’s many services. We’ve compiled a list of important Google URLs of some  hidden tools  that carry information of what you did with Google, mostly from the searches that you have made on their many products, the voice searches and typed out Google searches that you have made. Are you ready to  find out what how Google knows about you ? 1.  Google Dashboard Google Dashboard offers  transparency and control over the personal data stored with your Google Account. You can  view  and  manage the data gener...
