    Dear COMP6733,

    I hope that you had a wonderful break.

    • We are looking for a casual RA for developing a mmWave IoT network testbed in the ICS (the room that you present the final project seminar) and a smart home testbed in Level 5, J-17.
    • Dr Abdelwahed Khamis, an alumni of my research group, from CSIRO is looking for PhD candidates in Generative AI for IoT/sensory data (https://research.csiro.au/d61students/project-8/).

    Please send me and/or Abdelwahed an email if you are interested in the opportunities.

  • Goodbye

    Posted by Wen Hu Wednesday 16 August 2023, 02:29:04 PM.

    I have finalised the marks in SMS. I have added 1.5 bonus mark to your project final result to reflect the high myExperience return rate, and 0 - 1 bonus mark to your project progress result to reflect the guest lecture attendance in Week 9 according to the rule published earlier.

    I am impressed very much by the the quality of the projects. I would like to particularly highlight the following projects and teams in no particular order (Members' names are omitted due to privacy concerns).

    • "Driver fatgiue detection with heart rate variability analysis" by Team Cybis Mk.V
    • "Using IOT to provide live feedback for a Yoga practitioner while doing various poses" by Team IoTT

    I hope all of you enjoyed the course. Congratulations if you are graduating this term. If you will be at uni in T3, then I wish you a great short break and hope to see you in some other courses.

    If you haven't done so, please contact your tutor to return your loaned device.

    All the best !!

    • We will use special devices (e.g., Arduino Nano with Bluetooth Low Energy) in the labs, which will be collected from the campus during the first lab session in Week 2. Note that we have replace the sensortags with Arduino Nano based on the myExperience feedback from previous years, where students prefer Python to C, and the programming environments for Arduino Nano and Sensortag are MicroPython and C respectively. Do let us know your experience (e.g., at the end of the term via MyExperience survey).
    • Please complete this short Prior Knowledge survey before Monday when you have a chance.
