AIoT-Lab: A Heterogeneous Artificial Intelligence of Things Testbed

The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a key enabler of the future Internet architecture that seamlessly inter-connects humans and machines in a harmonious way, creating unprecedented opportunities and services. With the enormous volumes of data collected by IoT devices, Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are gaining momentum to provide advanced data analytic options that significantly enhance IoT services and create the experience of an omnipresent, intelligent, and living Artificial Internet of Things (AIoT). As with any emerging technology, AIoT solutions must be thoroughly tested and validated before being applied to real-world problems. This paper presents the AIoT-Lab; a heterogeneous federated experimental platform enabling researchers, IoT/AIoT designers, developers, and engineers to build, compare, and optimize their protocols, applications, and services. It provides rich tools and environments applicable to a wide range of IoT and AIoT applications including advanced user and testbed reservation management, toolchains for firmware compilation, energy measurement, and output analysis.
