这student competition for IoT designs to mitigate climate change and reduce energy consumption is back on track for 2022. Registration opens April 4.
经过两年的Covid-19 Hiatus，Keysight Technologies重新启动了其IoT创新挑战。这Keysight Innovation Challenge 2022学生竞争challenges students to design IoT devices that sense our world and provide data on environmental conditions. Graduate and undergraduate student teams compete to save the planet as well as for cash and equipment prizes (up to $30,000) for their universities. For 2022, the design goal is “to design and secure an IoT device or network of devices to monitor carbon emissions in corporate and community environments.”
这video on the competition’s home page highlights the final judging, which took place in September 2019 in New York City. I was there, having the honor ofbeing a judge.
At the 2019 competition, entrants competed in two categories: smart land and smart water.项目included those frommonitoring air quality在新西兰到measuring soil moisturein New England.
In New England, a team of MIT students developed berrysmart, a device that measures soil moisture with the goal of watering berry trees only as needed, without using excessive water. I met with the students on the MIT campus a few weeks after the finals for additional background. The MIT team took second place in the smart-water competition.
BerrySmart在地面，一个环境光传感器（光致抗蚀剂）和温度/ RH传感器。微控制器是开源的，因此农民可以在需要添加传感器，例如pH。它基于Arduino，其中几个设备可以驻扎在一个农场周围，通过Wi-Fi网状网络连接回农舍。在那里，农民可以使用软件仪表板来控制浇水。从太阳能电池板充电的电池运行的模块。这张照片显示了比赛决赛的Berrysmart模块。有关概述，请参阅下面的视频。
自从WPI的工程学生以来，学生项目已经走了很长的路。我的主要资格项目（MQP）花了我几个月的完成。今天的学生可以在周末设计和构建该电路，然后添加连接，软件，电源系统和传感器。实际上，即使是由高中生为本多年前学生项目的首次机器人塔设计的项目。
你知道想要衡量环境参数的工程学生吗？如果是这样，请考虑registeringfor the Keysight Innovation Challenge.
