A modular and reconfigurable sensing and actuation platform for smarter environments and drones: demo abstract

There has been an immense growth in sensors, actuators, and smart devices in recent years, which enable us to better sense, actuate, and understand the physical world. Despite this growth, we have yet to achieve fully intelligent environments. This is, in part, due to the large number of different organizations creating smart devices with proprietary technologies and communication protocols that are not compatible with each other and require significant engineering to incorporate and adapt to specific applications.
