We hope you had a relaxing Flexibility Week break!

• This week, we'll wrap up our lecture on time synchronisation before moving on to lightweight signal processing and machine learning .
• Please note that the exercise on edge computing is for self-study only and will not be graded. If you have any questions, feel free to post them on the WebCMS forum.
• Project proposa l results will be released by the end of this week.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Week 6: Flex week. No Lecture, no lab

Posted by Wen Hu Sunday 05 July 2026, 11:32:12 AM.

• If you haven't submitted your peer assessment for the project plan yet, please make sure to do so by COB on July 6th so we can include your input.
• Enjoy Flexibility Week!

Week 5: Project Proposal Presentation

Posted by Wen Hu Monday 29 June 2026, 09:37:12 AM.

• We will have proposal presentation this week (each group will have a maximum of 10 minutes' presentation time and please stick to the time limit). Note that every team member is expected to present. We have also created a Google form to collect peer marking (one submission per team please). https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP6733/26T2/resources/120490
• Lab 3 demo and submission due this week, and Lab 4 will be on BLE radio ranging (a primitive of localisation).

Look forward to seeing your proposal presentations later this morning (and also on Wednesday).

Project proposal presentation in Week 5

Posted by Wen Hu Tuesday 23 June 2026, 09:01:56 AM.

• The tentative schedule for the project proposal presentations is available here . Please note that every member of each group is expected to present, and all groups should adhere strictly to the allocated presentation time.
• For the group peer assessment, please submit only one response per group via the provided Google Form. The submitted scores should represent the group's collective evaluation (e.g., an agreed or averaged score), rather than separate submissions from individual group members. You may skip the assessment for your own group.
• If, for any reason, you wish to provide individual evaluations for presenters within a group, please include them in the Comments field of the Google Form.

Week 4: Space and Time Synchronisation

Posted by Wen Hu Monday 22 June 2026, 09:11:56 AM.

• We will wrap up the CoAP, MQTT and Cloud service for IoT on Monday before moving on to the space and time synchronisation .
• Project groups and topics have been allocated, and the Marking rubrics have been released. Presentation schedule in Week 5 will be released later this week.
• Lab 2 demo and submission due this week, and Lab 3 will be on Connect IoT to AWS Cloud.

See you in the lecture soon.

ProblemSet and Project allocations have been released.

Group Selection and Project Preference Reminder

Posted by Wen Hu Wednesday 17 June 2026, 09:00:07 AM.

Hi all,

• Currently, six students enrolled in the course are not yet members of a project group. If you are one of them, please join a group from this page as soon as possible. Please select a group with fewer than five members.
• There are also two groups that have not submitted their project preferences. If your group is one of them, please submit your preferences using the provided example templates ( Template A or Template B ).
• Deadline: All outstanding group registrations and project preference submissions must be completed by COB today . We will be finalising project allocations this week, and any student or group that has not completed the required steps will be assigned to a group or project at random.

Week 3: MQTT, Coap, and Cloud, Project

Posted by Wen Hu Monday 15 June 2026, 08:51:19 AM, last modified Monday 15 June 2026, 08:51:58 AM.

• Lecture slides are available.
• Project groups and topics will be finalised this week. If you don't have a group or your group is missing members, please come to the lecture today and we will try to match you.
• In the group page , please make your group visible. If you haven't done so, please express your preference by giving your top-3 projects a score of 1, 2 and 3 where ‘1’ means a project that you most want to do and ‘3 ’ means a project that you least want to do. We will assign the "orphan" students to random groups with random projects later this week.
• Lab 1 demo and submission due this week. Lab 2 will be on Low Power Communications (BLE).

Arduino Collection (for Monday labs only)

Posted by Wen Hu Wednesday 27 May 2026, 02:51:31 PM.

As Week 2 Monday (08/06) falls on a public holiday, students in the Monday labs who would like to get a head start may collect their Arduino on Wednesday (10/06) from 4–5 pm or Thursday (11/06) from 3–4 pm at Level 4, CSE Building (K-17). Please email the tutors beforehand. Alternatively, students may collect it at their first lab in Week 3 (15/06).

Welcome to COMP6733 26T2

• The lectures are currently scheduled in H13 Lawrence East M032 on Mondays and Wednesdays. We’re looking forward to meeting you all!
• In the labs , we will be working with special devices such as the Arduino Nano with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). These devices will be distributed during the first lab session in Week 2, which will be held on campus. Please note that labs will commence in Week 2 rather than Week 1.
  
  • As 8/6 is a public holiday, students enrolled in Monday's lab sessions may arrange to collect their Arduino from their tutors during Week 1. Please contact your tutor directly to make arrangements.
• Before Monday, please take a few minutes to complete this short Prior Knowledge survey when you have a chance.
