Some say the future is already here and we're living it, the one that brought interconnected machines and robots, which we only needed to talk to for them to perform functions, and well, if we see it that way, this is where the internet of things (IoT) either (IoT) for some regions it is essential for this to be possible.
Basically, the Internet of Things, known as IoT or IoT, is practically an intangible concept, since we don't go to a technology store and ask them to sell us an internet of things, but rather it is a set of technologies that allow most modern devices to stay connected to the network, regardless of the device, and autonomously analyze by sending or receiving information from sensors or automated algorithms to develop an intelligent function in itself or intertwined, such as the connection between our mobile phone and the sound system in the living room.
Undoubtedly, one of the fields that has seen the most growth through IoT is in the Home automation, an area of new technologies that provides automation to household elements and turns it into the well-known Smart Home, but it is increasingly common in companies due to its great capacity to facilitate the processing of large volumes of data (big data).
IoT devices have one main characteristic: machine-to-machine communication, which is done via cable, WiFi, Bluetooth, or any other type of connectivity, minimizing the need for human intervention, similar to Peer-to-Peer connections in computers.
Large quantities of devices are launched worldwide each month that apply to this field, and by 2025 it is estimated that we will have 41.6 billion connected devices on the planet, as stated at the Worldwide Global DataSphere IoT conference, and its main advances will be in terms of:
Smart Home: Home devices with motion sensors for automatic lighting management, as well as temperature or humidity sensors, and the constant development and evolution of intelligent assistants such as Alexa, Google Nest, among others.
Autonomous Vehicles: This technological sector has taken important steps in its development and although we already see it in specific cases such as Tesla's autonomous driving, there is still a long way to go; we will see significantly futuristic improvements in this type of car.
In particular, we can mention much more, such as the major investment being made to create a real-time traffic network connected to cars, trucks, and buses in order to reduce accidents, among other things.
Robotic Vacuum Cleaners: Vacuum cleaners have always been our great friends for cleaning, but they normally depended on human intervention from their origin until the arrival of robot vacuum cleaners, equipped with a large number of sensors, they have scanners and connectivity that allow them to perform their processes completely autonomously, something similar happens with automatic lawnmowers that work in a similar way in our garden.
By the end of the decade, everything is expected to be fully connected to the network, and in this, developments in 5G and, why not, the massive arrival of LiFi are of great importance.
