Course aim

Throughout this summer school, renowned and dynamic speakers will share their insight on the latest advances and applications of the Internet of Things technology as a driver for innovative digital infrastructures.

Mornings will be dedicated to theoretical sessions that include an introduction and applied lecture on each of the following topics:

- Radio communications
- Communication techniques
- Data processing
- Machine learning
- Deep learning

During these presentations, various methodologies adapted to each stage of project development will also be presented, thus supplementing the practical sessions taking place each afternoon.

These practical sessions will start with an introduction to the technology that will then be implemented during the hands-on workshops. Participants will work in groups with complementary skillsets and will be assisted by tutors in the development of a connected object. Each group will imagine and design an object and will programme an Arduino, connect it to the Cloud, design the 3D object and deploy it in order to process its data.
