TAIPEI, Taiwan — Worried about your children’s safety at school? Intel held a maker workshop at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2015 on June 2, which showcases the next wave of computing by using Intel’s Edison, and realized the solution for children’s safety at school. There were six makers participated and demonstrated their works in a bid to shape our future, especially to realize the Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, all the makers’ projects were based on the Intel Developer Zone.
Tom Foldesi, Senior Director of Intel New Devices Group, explained that the Intel Developer Zone is where developers are tapping into everything they need to successfully bring their connected ideas to life.
“Innovators/makers push the boundatries of technologies. Intel’s Edison is light and small that is the basis of next computing.” said Tom Foldesi.
Huang Hsin-hui, Wang Kuan-sheng and Wang Hsueh-jen are co-workers at M-RED, which created MABO to assist parents. “Parents always want to know about their children’s safety. So we make a smart ID card which have sensors to detect children’s state. Also, we make a humanoid lamp. Children’s state is transmitted to humanoid lamp via the Internet. So parents can know children’s state instantly.”
Furthermore, temperature, activity, GPS, light and touch sensores are embedded in MABO to detect children’s location and mulitiple actions at school. Meanwhile, the humanoid lamp can be the receiver to show children’s timely state like exercise, study, sleep and locate their location by GPS in case of skipping classes.
