Topic2: IoT meets AI: Human-cyber-physical Fused SmartIoT Sensing Techniques

Speaker2: Wenyu Qu, Professor, Tianjin University, China

Abstract:

As an extension of the information system to the physical world, the Internet of Things (IoT) has greatly expanded the ability of human beings to recognize and control the objects in our physical world. With the widespread of AI, the smart-IoT organically integrates the spaces of “human-cyber-physical”, becoming the key to the realization of the vision of intelligent industry, intelligent logistics, smart home. The technical challenges lie in seamless, open, robust, accurate, safe, and smart sensing, transmission and processing of big data from all things in the world and the physical environment. Here the speaker will share some hot research points in the IoT field, as well as his research works in smart sensing, human-computer interaction and other mobile computing. Finally, the speaker will discuss the new challenges and future research directions that the Internet of Everything (IoE) technology will face.
