Week 6 – The Internet of Robotic Things Flashcards
three security problems that these suffered from were:
- Hard coded and unchangeable passwords
- No encryption
- Firmware that could be fooled into receiving fake updates
one possible explanation for this is that these devices were rushed into the new market and extra security would have impacted there performance. especially in the case of encryption that requires a lot of processing

security problems that early IoT devices suffered from
and a possible explanation for this
what would be
considered a low frequency range
anywhere between
3 Hz - 3 MHz
is considered to be this
anywhere between
3 Hz - 3 MHz
is considered to be this
what would be
considered a low frequency range
within the context of control techniques describe a
closed loop
this decribes a system where a controller can provide input and create an output
the cntroller can then use that output as its input
example
a thermostat turning on a boiler (INPUT) to heat a room (OUTPUT) and then reading the room tempearture(INPUT) to decide if the boiler should stay on
describe the
robosphere
this takes inspiration from the biosphere and describes all the components that a robot may interact with
example
an amazon robots robosphere would include:
- an A.I system
- its on board computers
- the local database
- robot-human interaction
name 3 ways
an autonomous vehicle in a smart city might carry out its processing
three ways these might carry out processing are
- On board processing
- for time critical or simple local processing
- Roadside nodes (edge processing)
- for more complex processing or processing that requires unknown data to the vehicle such as an overtake
- Cloud server
- for the most complex processing, such as finding the best route
this takes inspiration from the biosphere and describes all the components that a robot may interact with
example
an amazon robots robosphere would include:
- an A.I system
- its on board computers
- the local database
- robot-human interaction
describe the
robosphere
these include:
- 2g
- 3g
- 4g
- 5g
- Lorawan (for low powered wide area network (LPWAN))
- Zigbee (for home loT)

communication networks that an
Internet of Things (IoT) device might connect to
what would be
considered a high frequency range
anywhere between
3 MHz - 3 THz
would be considered this
describe a
smart city
this is a city that can use sensors in order to provide better city services such as:
- waste management
- lighting
- parking
- traffic flow
5 points describing this are:
- is a layer below cloud computing
- will have communication with the user and the cloud
- will be local to the user in comparison to the cloud
- can process and store large quantities of data
- can pass data to the cloud as well as hold on to data
give 5 points describing
fog computing
describe
edge computing
this can be described as computing that is carried out close by to an IoT device and on behalf of the IoT device
example
- a plane engine receiving data from the engine sensors and then carrying out processing in order to then provide the pilot data
- a roadside node that can carry out processing for an autonomous car (such as orchestrating a manouvre for a car to overtake since the node may have more data and more capabilities)
this can be described as a controller that can provide input and cause an output
such as a thermostat turning on a boiler to produce an output of heat
however the controller does not then receive any input from that output
such as a light being turned on but no light sensor to tell a controller that such output has occurred
within the context of control techniques describe an
open loop
within the context of a heating system explain how
Internet of Things (IoT)
can be incorporated
within the context of a heating system this could be incorporated as
- being connected to the internet
- providing live data to the user (such as alerts)
- receiving live data from the user (such as setting the desired temperature remotely)
primarily these will
- will be connected to a communication network
- collect data and send it to a central database
- transmitted data is sent at low frequency and low time intervals
- can be placed anywhere and will be powered by batteries or solar power

- malicious acts (such as damage to a system)
- privacy issues

risks for lacking security
characteristics of this include:
- limited speed capabilities
- can cover far distances
- can more easily penetrate objects

characteristics of this include:
- allows for faster speeds
- covers less distance
- cannot penetrate objects easily
give 3
characteristics of high frequency signals
using the criteria
- robot
- autonomous
- mobile
- intelligent
- sense-think-act
to what extent could a smart city be considered a robot
- robot
- it can take data from sensors in order to understand the city status and make descisions based on that input
- autonomous
- it would be able to make its own decsioons by learning using methods such as nural networks
- mobile
- the city is static and will not be mobile
- intelligent
- the city would be intelligent and be able to react to uncertain conditions such as traffic build ups and redirect traffic
- sense-think-act
- the city can take sensory input
- the city can make descisions
- the city can act by directing traffic or even directing autonomous vehicles
a smart city by these definitions could most certainatilly be considered a robot
