Adding smart control to a greenhouse is easy with a MIAC industrial controller from MatrixTSL. Although this example project uses the Raspberry Pi® MIAC, you could also use the dsPIC® MIAC or the Arduino® MIAC to help create the perfect growing conditions for your vegetables.
The MIAC is designed to measure and control all sorts of equipment that can help you making a smart greenhouse. For the temperature and humidity you can buy a single sensor to give you the output voltage for the MIAC to switch on a light or heating element if the greenhouse is too cold – or alternatively, open the ventilation if the temperature is too high.
In this tutorial, a spy rover controlled through Bluetooth is designed. It is a surveillance robot which will be used to monitor and keep watch of areas not easily accessible by humans. Surveillance is the process of monitoring a situation, an area or a person. It is generally practiced in a military scenario where surveillance of borderlines and enemy territory is essential to for the country’s safety.
Intel hosted the NASA Frontier Development Lab (FDL) Wrap-Up Event at the Santa Clara Campus, thereby concluding an 8-week summer program. As a key partner of FDL, Intel provided support to the ongoing research that is exploring the use of AI to solve a range of challenges within the fields of space weather, space resources, and planetary defense.
Who doesn’t like to get greetings from people and when you get the same from your house, it gives you an overwhelming experience. Houses with modern sensors, not only makes your life easy and comfortable but also saves the environment and assist humankind.
Like Line following robots are fun, making a wall following robot is even more exciting. A wall following robot is designed to move along a wall without hitting it. It has obstacle detection sensors mounted on the body which detects wall and drive DC motors attached to the wheels such that the robot keeps moving along the wall.
The Push-Pull is a DC to DC converter which uses a transformer for changing the DC power. The output voltage of push-pull converter is either less than or greater than the input supply voltage. It is one of the topologies of the Switched Mode Power Supply so it works on the principle of switching regulators. In Push-Pull converter, the current is drawn in both halves of the switching cycle contrary to other converters like Buck-Boost or Flyback converter. This gives a more steady current at the output. 
A Flyback Converter is like a Buck-Boost DC to DC converter which provides the output voltage either less than or greater than the input supply voltage. It is one of the topologies of the Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) so it works on the principle of switching regulators.
The Buck-Boost Converter is a DC to DC converter which provides the output voltage either less than or greater than the input supply voltage. It is one of the topologies of the Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS), so, it works on the principle of switching regulators. A Buck – Boost converter can operate in either of the two modes - 
Robots are designed to ease and automate the work of humans. They are useful to deploy at places which are not easily accessible. In this tutorial, a humidity and temperature monitoring rover based on IoT's robotic application is designed. Humidity and temperature are the most common physical environments that are needed to be monitored.
