Embark in the fields of digital electronics, embedded software and networking for IoT. Hardware and software aspects of IoT will be presented and hands-on practical courses will allow you to familiarize with IoT standards.
Solve a societal challenge to measure human activities with the best energy efficiency and reasonable resource use. The local company called Eco-Counter that provides solutions to analyse the flow of pedestrians and bikes around the world will support you in your project.

Learn theoretical and practical knowledge about recent advances in enabling technologies for smart devices leveraging sensors, electronics and future wireless transceivers, systems and networks in scenarios such as IoT, Industry 4.0, Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS), autonomous vehicles, robots or UAVs.

Explore the various aspects of a smart device, from the sensors themselves to the data processing and transmission. Classical IoT standards will be detailed (BLE, ZigBee...). Investigate long-range communications (LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT...)

Develop a prototype for innovative IoT applications. Each small groups (4 people) will conduct the full project: from the application specifications to a demonstration of their prototype. The prototype will be based on various sensors and wireless transceivers plugged to Arduino motherboards.
Present your project to the jury and win a prize.
