Hello all. Welcome to the specialization on the internet of things, our viewpoint is the convergence of multiple technologies. We will talk about telephony networks that we switched, and a lot of innovations gave 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 telephony 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 telephony 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, or it will give us new products and services in this phase of automotive industry, health care, robotics. The unique thing about this course. This series of courses is it's 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, Arty. Hey's guys, you're probably all looking to take this class because you're interested in building your own internet of things. And I think you've come to the right place. This is gonna be really hands on. Most of the courses here are built by the students of UCSD. You're gonna be working with this Arrow Electronics DragonBoard 410c, which runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. This is kind of you can think of it like if you take out your smartphone, open up the hood. What you'll find is components in here. So, this will form the core of our course. To follow along you would buy one of these, which is not a big deal, it's not that expensive. But I wanna pause here and kind of give you a snapshot of what you're gonna experience throughout this course. You're gonna see some of the lab projects you'll be building. And after that, you'll finally end up with the Capstone project where you'll create your own ideas and build on it using the 410c. Anyway, I'll leave now, give a little trailer of what you're gonna experience in the course and hope to see you in course one. [MUSIC] >> Hey guys I want to introduce you to the rest of the team that made the move possible. I wanna start with Robert here. But before that I wanna say this. Two students are missing here. Randy and but you'll get to see them later throughout the course. Start with the chief of student's, 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 I'm a grad student in the ECE department here at UCSD and I'm here to teach you guys some Parkour. >> [LAUGH] >> Just kidding. We're [CROSSTALK] [LAUGH] >> My name is Jacob I'm a third-year here, studying computer science at UCSD. And I'm ready for the course. >> And I'm Arjan Makyun. I'm also a third year at UCSD doing computer engineering. And I'm gonna have a great time doing these courses with you guys. >> And, finally, I wanna introduce you to the video crew, which made the whole course possible. Hector, Alex, Joe, 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.
