1. a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in
computers
2. the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior
Source 3 : https://www.britannica.com/technology/artificial-intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot
to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently
applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes
characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize,
or learn from past experience.
CONCLUSION
“Artificial intelligence is the ability of digital computers or robots or machines
controlled by computers, to perform tasks that are generally to mimic human
intelligence behavior, and are influenced by the Internet, such as the ability to
think, find meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience”.
2. Automation
Source 1 : https://www.techopedia.com/definition/32099/automation
Automation is the creation of technology and its application in order to control and
monitor the production and delivery of various goods and services. It performs tasks
that were previously performed by humans. Automation is being used in a number of
areas such as manufacturing, transport, utilities, defense, facilities, operations and
lately, information technology.
Source 3 : https://www.inc.com/encyclopedia/automation.html
Automation is the art of making processes or machines self-acting or self-moving.
Automation also means the technique of making a device, machine, process, or
procedure more fully automatic.
CONCLUSION
“Automation is the creation and application of technology to control and monitor
the production and delivery of products and services, also called the art of
making devices, processes, machines, procedures, acting on their own or
moving on their own, and performing tasks that were previously performed by
humans, in a number of fields such as manufacturing, transportation, utilities,
defense, facilities, operations and, lately, information technology”.
3. Algorithm

An algorithm is a list of rules to follow in order to solve a problem.
CONCLUSION
“The algorithm (pronounced AL-go-rith-um) is a list of procedures, formulas,
sequence of instructions, to solve problems or carry out calculations, data
processing, automatic reasoning, and other tasks, based on a series of specific
actions”.

5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It will take a much larger role than previous
generations.
5G will elevate the mobile network to not only interconnect people, but also
interconnect and control machines, objects, and devices.
Source 3 : https://www.sdxcentral.com/5g/
5G is the next step beyond 4G and LTE mobile networks, with faster speeds, more
bandwidth, and a wider range than previous networks. It’s a developing technology,
with several major mobile network carriers researching and improving the network as
it evolves.
CONCLUSION
“The Fifth Generation ( 5Th generation) is the latest iteration of cellular network
technology, which is designed to increase the speed and responsiveness of
wireless networks, greater bandwidth, and wider coverage than previous
networks (4G and LTE), not only to connect people, but also connect and
controlling machines, objects, and devices.”

The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic
significance.
Consumer products, durable goods, cars and trucks, industrial and utility components,
sensors, and other everyday objects are being combined with Internet connectivity and
powerful data analytic capabilities that promise to transform the way we work, live, and
play.

this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the
Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cellphones, coffee
makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost
anything else you can think of.
CONCLUSION
“IoT (Internet of Things) is a system of interconnected computing devices,
mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people equipped with
unique identifiers (UID) and the ability to transfer data through networks without
requiring human-human, human-computer interaction , also defined as the
concept of connecting any device with life and death switches to the Internet
(and / or each other), IoT is a topic that arises from technical, social, and
economic significance, such as consumer products, durable goods, cars and
trucks , industrial and utility components, sensors, cellphones, coffee makers,

Microcontroller is a highly integrated chip that contains all the components comprising
a controller. Typically this includes a CPU, RAM, some form of ROM, I/Oports, and
timers.
Source 3 : https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/microcontroller1.htm
Microcontrollers are "embedded" inside some other device (often a consumer product)
so that they can control the features or actions of the product. Another name for a
microcontroller, therefore, is "embedded controller."
CONCLUSION
“Microcontrollers are integrated circuit devices (ICs or chips) that are embedded
in several devices (often consumer products), so they can control product
features or actions that are used to control other parts of an electronic system,
with processing functionality, responsive interaction with digital components ,
analog or electromechanical (called "embedded controller"), which contains all
the components of the controller. Usually this includes CPU, RAM, some forms
of ROM, I / O'Ports, and timers”.
