On 27-29 June 2022, EU-IoT organised the EU-IoT/EFPF Hackathon, co-located with the 12th CONASENSE symposium. The Hackathon focused on mobile sustainable IoT solutions and brought together more than 140 registered participants from all across the world.
As a result of the two-day hackathon, 15 teams were selected for pitching, with the presentation of innovative ideas for mobile sustainable IoT solutions in several domains: IoT Interfaces (Augmented Reality Interfaces based on the Smart Mirror concept), Far Edge (Sustainable IoT via TinyML), Near Edge (Sustainable MEC applications), Infrastructure (Simulating Time-sensitive and Deterministic networking IoT applications), Data Spaces (Sustainable, user-centric smart mobility), and European Factory Platform (IoT services for Manufacturing).
Based on the proposed solutions, the jury selected awarded three innovative ideas:
First place: Team 6 – Cassio Dias, Felipe da Silva Braz, Gabriel Negri, Jose Angelo de Oliveira, UNIVESP, Brazil. The team presented a training project for sustainable irrigation using IoT.
Awards:
- EU-IoT Challenges Award, provided by UnternehmerTUM Makerspace – one year XL membership for incubation in the UnternhemerTUM Makerspace in Munich and three trainings per team member
- EFPF Challenges Award, first prize, one Google Pixel 6
Second place: Team 2 – Sudhir Kshirsagar, Universit of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA. The team presented a project idea in the field of anomaly detection related to data analytics.
Awards:
- IoT Forum voucher for one person at IoT Week 2023
- EFPF Challenges Award, 2nd prize – Google Next HUB 2nd generation smart display and Google ChromeCast Stream player, and two Google Nest Audio Smart Speakers
Third place: Team 16 – Bruno Lowczy, UNIVESP, Brazil. The team presented a project idea called Green Back-up in the field of Data spaces, sustainable, user-centric smart mobility.
Awards:
- EFPF Challenges Award 3rd prize, Arduino Kit Explore IoT Kit Education and a set of 40 sensors for Arduino projects plus Arduino Sensor Kit Base with Shield and 10 Grove Sensors
In addition, all team members (individual persons) have been awarded Infineon Kit I and Infineon Kit II.
