About This Session
When LEGO Meets IoT is a deep dive into building a real-world embedded system using LEGO as the mechanical platform and Arduino as the control layer. The talk breaks down the design and implementation of a custom physical computing project that combines sensors, actuators, control logic, and IoT concepts into a connected, programmable machine.
From the first prototype to a functioning system, the session explores how mechanical engineering constraints, electronics, firmware, and software architecture all have to work together. It covers modular design, sensor fusion, motion control, state-based logic, hardware abstraction, system integration, iterative prototyping, and the tradeoffs that show up when you move from concept to something that actually works in the physical world.
For a technical audience, this talk shows that tools like LEGO and Arduino are not just educational toys. In the right hands, they become a fast, flexible platform for embedded development, systems design, experimentation, and innovation.
