IoT data

- [Instructor] So, the Internet of Things, specifically how it works with cloud computing, is really all about data production and what you do with that data. So, this course is largely going to focus on devices that send things back to a cloud-based system, and a cloud-based system that may, in turn, control aspects of those devices. For example, a drone transmitting information to some sort of a central computer on the cloud. Now, the drone may have data that's native to that drone, such as navigation data so it stays on course, and the ability to respond to things such as an object in front of it so it can avoid a collision. But, the ability to take images and videos from that drone, for example, over some sort of farmer's field to look at water saturation, and transmit those images to a centralized server, is really where the power of IoT is. So, this is about leveraging data. We may have local storage, which occurs at the device. And certainly, with the power of nonvolatile…
