What is a Smart city? Sensing + Networking + Analysis + Control

2

Internet of Things (IoT) •  Connects physical objects •  Allows to sense phenomena and control them •  IoT will be a fundamental technological infrastructure for smart cities

IoT in Smart Cities

§  Smart cities thanks to IoT

§  IoT = Sensor and actuator networks

§  Sensing, networking, data analysis, and control for any physical thing

The basic infrastructure of IoT: Wireless Sensor Networks

Stockholm, a growing Smart City

•  Digital Demo Stockholm: exhibiting one of the most technological urban districts in the world

•  KTH Liv’In Lab: KTH Royal Institute of Technology Campus

IoT Smart City’s research at my group in KTH

We perform applied math research including

§  Smart buildings §  Smart vehicles §  Smart energy grids §  Environmental monitoring §  Water distribution lines §  Wearable sensors §  Security and privacy §  ... and much more

Let’s now give some detail about the basic research challenges that still need investigations

6

Smart buildings

•  How schedule the control of the home appliances? •  How to reduce electrical energy consumption?

7

Autonomous Cars

•  Autonomous or semi-autonomous driving •  How to control autonomously vehicles?

8

Drones: Unmanned Air Vehicles

•  Flying robots on can accomplish many tasks in cities and buildings

•  How to control autonomously flying robots?

Smart Grids

10

•  How to sell, buy and distribute optimally energy over a network of “agents” having limited collaboration?

Environmental Monitoring

•  IoT can give an infrastructure for monitoring the pollution in urban

environments •  How to control traffic in smart cities to reduce pollution?

Connected Water Project – Digital Demo Stockholm

• Digital monitoring of the quality of Stockholm’s water supply

• Demonstrate the benefits with Internet of Things from a technological, social and sustainability perspective

• Collaboration between the City of Stockholm, KTH, Stockholm University, Ericsson, and ABB

13

•  We have sensor networks to detect the brain activity •  How to control cars, robots or home appliances directly by the brain? •  Many other wearable sensors to monitor and control our health
