It is called the Internet of Things and it just may be offering a preview of things to come. There were more than 120 high-tech gadgets and gizmos at the Fargodome for an engineering tech convention.
The event was hosted by the NDSU College of Engineering. The students got to see demonstrations, test drive advanced driver assisted systems, see wearables, and try their hand at telepresence robots and myoelectric gesture recognition technology.
"Semi-Conductors by themselves, only a few people can actually work with the semi-conductor itself. But when you put them into a development board, you're already taking it to the next step, and these students can really get their hands on and start developing these products while they're in the university," explains Scott Hughes of Freescale.
The truck even had some health care products, like a blood pressure monitor, a septic tank drain field monitor, and a wi-fi beer tap.
The Internet of Things truck is the brain-child of Freescale Semi-Conductors. They use it not only for demonstrations at colleges and universities like NDSU, but also take it to customers to help with on-site training. for complete post see here
