Empowering IoT with UAV-Enabled Data Networks
Project Description
The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks presents a transformative opportunity to enhance IoT networks by extending connectivity to remote or inaccessible areas, facilitating environmental monitoring, and enabling efficient, on-demand data collection. UAV-Assisted IoT systems serve as mobile gateways, bridging terrestrial IoT devices and existing network infrastructure, with the potential to improve disaster response, and urban infrastructure management.
This project explores UAV-enabled IoT technologies, leveraging UAVs as a critical medium to enhance IoT communication and expand its applications. Participants will configure and utilize UAVs to develop practical solutions for real-world IoT challenges. The project involves hands-on experimentation, performance measurements, and system modifications, providing valuable experience in adapting UAV technology for innovative IoT network deployments.
