IoT Sensors

<p>This book introduces the basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) and explores the foundational role of<br>sensors in IoT applications. The IoT is a network of devices and objects: sensors actuators hardware<br>software human beings domestic appliances health monitoring equipment and other things<br>connected to the internet which is designed to operate in a coordinated fashion to receive process<br>and interpret signals and take appropriate action.<br>It provides a seamless real-time interface between the physical and digital worlds by integrating<br>sensors with networking computation and actuation facilities. This book sketches a perspective of<br>the IoT with sensors as the focus of attention. Diverse applications of the IoT that are destined to<br>make an impact on our everyday lives in the near future are discussed.<br>It presents a comprehensive overview of the most recent sensor technologies used in the IoT to<br>keep the reader abreast of the current advances at the frontiers of knowledge.<br>The book will cater to student and professional audiences and will be useful for postgraduate and<br>Ph.D. students studying physics engineering and computer science as well as researchers engineers<br>and industrial workers engaged in this fast-progressing field.</p><p>Key Features:</p><p>• Explains the basic concepts and important terms of ‘Internet of Things’ in simple language</p><p>• Provides an up-to-date coverage of the key sensors used in IoT applications</p><p>• Explores IoT applications in smart cities smart agriculture smart factory and many more</p>
