9. Motion sensors detect movement and are used in security systems, smart homes,
and gaming systems.
These are just a few examples of the types of sensors used in the IoT industry. There are many other types of sensors,
each with its own unique capabilities and applications.
However, the widespread adoption of IoT sensors also raises concerns about data privacy and security. IoT sensors
can collect and transmit sensitive data, such as personal information and location data, which can be vulnerable to
cyberattacks and data breaches. It is therefore important to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to
protect the privacy and security of IoT sensors and the data they collect.
Sensors are critical components of IoT devices that enable them to capture and transmit data to other devices or
the cloud for analysis and processing.
Fill in the blanks:
1. ______________ measure angular velocity and are used in navigation systems, robotics, and virtual
reality systems.
2. ____________ sensors detect the presence or absence of nearby objects and are used in
manufacturing, security systems, and robotics.
3. _____ sensors detect the location and are used in navigation systems, fleet management systems, and
asset tracking systems.
10.3.2 Smart Cities
IoT is a key technology in the development of smart cities. IoT sensors can be used to collect data on a wide range of
urban services, including transportation, energy consumption, waste management, and public safety. This data can be
analyzed and used to optimize urban services, improve sustainability, and enhance the quality of life for city residents.

Here are some examples of how IoT is being used in smart cities:
Smart transportation: IoT sensors can be used to monitor traffic flow, pedestrian movements, and public transport
usage in real-time. This data can be used to optimize traffic management, reduce congestion, and improve public
transport services.
Energy management: IoT sensors can be used to monitor energy consumption in buildings and public spaces. This data
can be used to optimize energy usage, reduce waste, and improve energy efficiency.
