With the development of 5G and Internet of Things (IoT), the era of big data‐driven product design is booming. In addition, artificial intelligence (AI) is also emerging and evolving by recent breakthroughs in computing power and software architectures. In this regard, the digital twin, analyzing various sensor data with the help of AI algorithms, has become a cutting‐edge technology that connects the physical and virtual worlds, in which the various sensors are highly desirable to collect environmental information. However, although existing sensor technologies, including cameras, microphones, inertial measurement units, etc., are widely used as sensing elements for various applications, high‐power consumption and battery replacement of them is still a problem. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) as self‐powered sensors supply a feasible platform for realizing self‐sustainable and low‐power systems. Herein, the recent progress on TENG‐based intelligent systems, that is, wearable electronics, robot‐related systems, and smart homes, followed by prospective future development enabled by sensor fusion technology, is focused on. Finally, how to apply artificial intelligence to the design of intelligent sensor systems for the 5G and IoT era is discussed.

An integrated DEMATEL-MMDE-ISM based approach for analysing the barriers of IoT implementation in the manufacturing industry

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vast collection of interconnected sensors, devices, and services that share data and information over the Internet with the objective of leveraging multiple information sources to optimize related systems. The technologies associated with the IoT have significantly improved the quality of many existing applications by reducing costs, improving functionality, increasing access to resources, and enhancing automation. The adoption of IoT by industries has led to the next industrial revolution: Industry 4.0. The rise of the Industrial IoT (IIoT) promises to enhance factory management, process optimization, worker safety, and more. However, the rollout of the IIoT is not without significant issues, and many of these act as major barriers that prevent fully achieving the vision of Industry 4.0. One major area of concern is the security and privacy of the massive datasets that are captured and stored, which may leak information about intellectual property, trade secrets, and other competitive knowledge. As a way forward toward solving security and privacy concerns, we aim in this paper to identify common input-output (I/O) design patterns that exist in applications of the IIoT. These design patterns enable constructing an abstract model representation of data flow semantics used by such applications, and therefore better understand how to secure the information related to IIoT operations. In this paper, we describe communication protocols and identify common I/O design patterns for IIoT applications with an emphasis on data flow in edge devices, which, in the industrial control system (ICS) setting, are most often involved in process control or monitoring.

Design patterns for the industrial Internet of Things

With an exponential advancement of automation technology, the future of manual systems are changing into automatic systems for various benefits. Also, internet has become an integral part of one's life where Internet of Things (IoT) is the latest and emerging internet technology that has changed the way one looks at things. Internet of things is developing everyday from small scale machines to large scale machines that can share data and accomplish tasks while individuals are occupied with other activities. The main aim of the paper is to design a smart home automation system using IoT, that is to turn a customary home to a smart home for accessing and controlling devices and appliances remotely using Android based Smart phone app. To be specific, we aim to design a low cost, extensible, flexible wireless smart home automation system using IoT which employs the integration of wireless communication, cloud networking to provide users to control a variety of devices from remote locations by providing an user friendly interface and ease of installation. This paper presents the design of smart home automation framework that utilizes the combination of cloud networking and wireless communication, to remote control various electrical appliances (like lights, fans), to users within their home using a smart phone. The system will automatically control appliances on the basis of sensors' data by constantly monitoring the home environment and storing sensor data onto the cloud. To exhibit the possibility and adequacy of our framework, electrical appliances (like lights, fans) and sensors have been incorporated within the proposed home control system.

Artificial intelligence of toilet (AI-Toilet) for an integrated health monitoring system (IHMS) using smart triboelectric pressure sensors and image sensor

Internet of Things is the internetworking of devices such as heart monitoring, automobiles with built-in sensors, environmental monitoring, home automation and lightning that enable these devices to gather, communicate, share, receive, and transfer data over a network. The Internet of Things is about making the surrounding environment smart including the buildings used for living beings like homes and hospitals. In this paper, various sensors are deployed in home such as motion sensors, luminance sensors and temperature sensors, is discussed. Algorithm to save the energy of lights and air conditioners of the entire home is also implemented in this paper. Energy consumption before and after implementation of system model has been calculated which showed that a total of 20.78% energy has been saved.

Home Automation Using Internet of Things

Internet of Things provides a general concept of the integration of Internet with sensors, radio frequency identification, and smart objects. The term Internet of Things is the internetworking or interconnecting of objects that contains actuators, softwares, and sensors. It enables devices to gather and transfer information over a network. Things in the Internet of Things have the capability to send and receive information to a network barring the intervention of humans and it contains physical objects that have a particular identifier with an embedded system. This new technology Internet of Things and various elements and technologies to implement Internet of Things are introduced. In this paper various research challenges and applications associated to the Internet of Things are reviewed.
