IoT At The Edge: How High-Performance Processing And Internet Productivity Are Changing Businesses Worldwide
Most IoT devices, at the most basic level, are input and/or output devices that are connected to the internet. The input devices are designed to generate data-cameras produce images in the form of data. Microphones digitize audio as data files. A wide variety of specialized sensors generate data. At the output end, IoT devices can perform an immeasurable range of tasks: A robot can perform complex actions (even surgery when guided by a human surgeon); a speaker can respond to a question or generate verbal instructions; a drone can be controlled by an expert on the ground or in a control room; a door may remotely shut and lock if an intruder is detected.
