Hello all. Welcome to the specialization on the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things overview point is the convergence of multiple technologies. We will talk about telephone network, circuit switch and a lot of innovations give rise to broadcast radio and television. And that, in turn led to consumer electronics and the growth of content. Around this time, 1972, DARPA commissioned the development of Internet to do one thing that could not be done with the telephone networks and the broadcast networks at that time, that is reliability. And as we all know, Internet delivered on reliability and went on to subsume the functionality of telephone networks and broadcast networks. So the next big converging technology was wireless technologies, and that gave us wireless Internet and the smartphones. And in this course, we are going to use the smartphone platform to teach you the Internet of Things and what the future might be. The IOT platform, the indications are, it will give us new products and services in the space of automotive industry, healthcare, robotics. The unique thing about this course, this series of courses is completely hands on and lab oriented. And I would like to come and introduce the lab parts about that. Hello come on in. >> Hey thanks. Hey guys, you probably all are looking to take this course because you're interested to build on Internet of Things And I think you've come to the right place. This is going to be really hands on most of the courses here are built by the students of UCSD. You're going to be working with this aero electronics dragon board potency which runs at falcon snap dragon processor. This is a kind of you can think of it like if you take out this smart phone open up the hood. What you'd find is components in here, so this will form the core of the course. To follow along you would buy one of these, it's not a big deal, it's not that expensive. But, I want to pause here and kind of give you a snap shot of what you're going to experience throughout this course. You're going to see some of the lab projects you'll be building. And after that, you finally end up with a Capstone project where you'll create your own ideas and build on it using the. Anyway, leave now to give a little trailer of what you'll experience in the course and hope to see you in course one. [MUSIC] Hey guys, want to introduce you to the rest of the team, made the move possible. Want to start with Robert here but before that I wanted to say this, two students are missing here, Randy and Eukridge,but you'll get to see them later throughout the course. I'll start with the chief of students Robert. >> Thanks. I'm Robert Wolf. I just recently graduated here at UCSD with electrical engineering and I look forward to meeting everyone throughout these courses coming up. >> I'm Eric Urel. I'm a grad student in the EC department here at UCSD and I'm here to teach you guys some Parkour. Just kidding. [LAUGH] We're here for Electrical. >> My name's Jacob Torrado. I'm a third year here studying computer science at UCSD. And I'm ready for the course. >> And I'm I'm also third year at UCAD doing computer engineering. And I'm going to have a great time doing these courses with you guys. >> And finally, I want to introduce you to the video crew which made the whole course possible. Hector, Alex, Joel, please come in and say hi. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Do a little selfie of yourself. >> [LAUGH] >> Hopefully we'll see you guys in course one. Please come back.
