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.

                    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.
