AGENTIC AI FOR INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

Course Description

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects, devices, vehicles, buildings and other items which are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data.

Agentic AI, a form of artificial intelligence with autonomy, adaptability, and decision-making capabilities, is increasingly significant for IoT applications. It enables autonomous data collection, real-time monitoring, and adaptive decision-making by interacting directly with IoT devices and sensors.

This is a variable-unit, advanced, hands-on course. The course will start with lecture style covering of the evolutionary foundations of cloud computing, AI agents and IoT, tools, languages, protocols, infrastructures used for building IoT solutions. Guest speakers from industry and academia will cover various topics and technologies in the field. Additional focus will be placed on security, authentication and hardware architectures as it relates to internet of things.

Students may work on a research paper or project and will receive 4-6 units based on the extent of work and participation.
