Proposals
In the following you find some proposals to start or develop your own project from.
All project proposals will be implemented using common embedded IoT platforms, we currently provide the following Hardware. The designated software will be programmed in C and based on the RIOT-OS (source code on GitHub). In general, these a typical IoT project will have a distributed system architecture - thus, sensors and actuators have to communicate via an energy efficient wireless technology to exchange data and control information. The afore mentioned hardware and software support radio communication via IEEE 802.15.4.
The goal of this project proposal is to assess the indoor climate of a room by using a variety of sensors to detect:
- temperature
- humidity
- brightness
- noise
- O2/CO2 concentration
Upon that, a smart environment may control air condition and flow, lights and shades, etc. to ensure a stable (and comfortable) room climate and well being of people in it.
This project aims to raise comfort and usability for people in a building but also lower the overall energy consumption of the building by an intelligent light control. The idea is to not simply detect the presence (or non presence) of people in a room or hall way using motion sensors, but (smartly) react in advance to turn lights on and off. For instance, if a person uses an elevator the SmartLightning system knows where it is going and when it stops: lights will be on when elevator doors open. More over the system may also have access to detailed information, e.g., room layout, occupancy, and schedules, to plan light control with even more precision.
The goal of this project is to monitor and optimize energy consumption of various devices within a building. A SmartPowerControl will adapt energy consumption to match actual demand, thereby raising overall energy efficiency. This includes to collect consumption data of a building, but also control devices by turning them on and off (e.g. power sockets). The system may also react on external input from other sensors. Monitoring data, analysis, and user control should be accessible through a web interface.
Basically, this implements a distraction sensing system to monitor the attention of students during a lecture. To assess distraction the system may analyze various sensor inputs, e.g., light, noise, air quality, from a room. Based on this data the system will implement measures to help students (and professors) to improve or regain concentration, for instance by proposing a break. Thereby this project may also improve the overall success of a lecture, that is knowledge transfer.
The main idea behind this project is to detect and count (or estimate) the number of people in a room. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze input from one or more sensors, for example:
- motion sensors
- microphones (noise)
- WLAN or BT beacons
Though it sound esoteric, this project aims to support and ensure the well being of people using IoT technologies. Similar to SmartLightning and SmartEnvironment, it uses various sensors to detect sound, noise level, brightness, color of light, temperature and more to improve the environmental conditions of a room or building to the needs of the occupants/users. For instance, adapt temperature and light (level, color) to help people relax - maybe play some music?!
