Youth researchYoung scientists honored
A robotic sparring partner for boxing training, the Internet of Things for the home or a camera that always shoots blur-free films thanks to motors and position sensors - the creativity of the young researchers at the 51st national finals knew no bounds. Now the winners have been announced.
How practical would it be to connect everyday appliances such as heaters, fridges or alarm systems via the internet so that they can be controlled remotely using a tablet or smartphone? The "Internet of Things" makes this possible. Paul Brachmann (15) from Berlin has developed software that makes it relatively easy for anyone to create their own Internet of Things: With the web-based program 'DEploy', the user specifies which devices are part of the network and how they should communicate with each other. This makes it possible, for example, to combine all household controls - from lighting and temperature control to kitchen appliances - into a single central system.
