The Internet of Things

Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Clemens Westerkamp (HS Osnabrück), Dr. Hany Elgala (UAlbany)

Format: Online and offline, synchronous and asynchronous

Timeline: April 4th - May 11th, 2021

Objectives: Understanding the building blocks of IoT systems and the underlying technologies that drive their revolution. Applying ML to address different requirements related to signal processing, communication, and control. Getting experimental and simulation experience while developing IoT systems and ML models
using state-of-the-art platforms; WiPy from Pycom and Coral Dev Board/USB Accelerator.

Tasks: Students use and install m5Stack/SUNY hardware/software tools, comparing their results in mixed groups. Groups operate the system on the other side of the ocean remotely. Both sub-groups write a protocol of carrying out the examples remotely and exchange it asynchronously. Students develop own product/service ideas according to the different application fields (offline) and present the ideas to a virtual “product management” (a jury) with the idea of founding a OS/NY joint venture (online). They start implementing a prototype.

Virtual Academy Spotlight Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences: Pitching projects for the Internet of Things

Students from several engineering and computer science programs at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and at University at Albany conduct experiments on artificial intelligence and develop their own products for the Internet of Things. They exchange ideas in transatlantic teams and give each other feedback on their project ideas.
