INTRODUCTION
Today, with the development of technology 4.0, IoT has become the most
strongly developed technology industry in the world and applied by humans in reality
to make life more and more modern. The introduction of IoTs to life has made
significant achievements in the economic industry around the world; IOT helps
people control things more quickly, help solve troublesome and complex problems,
discover incidents, reducing workers in factories instead thanks to working machines
that help us. Not stopping there, the IoT has exploded and evolved further and
showed everyone the potential of IoT's future in amazing numbers. According to ABI
Research (a technology company) estimated that more than 30 billion devices will be
wirelessly connected to everything by 2020, which shows how huge the IoT metrics
will be in our future. When everything internalized, people can control everything with
just one phone with internet connection. The IoT is also our human future, where
everything has the ability to exchange information and data through a single network
without the need for human interaction. In the future of this technology industry,
people will be able to create intelligent entities that are self-aware and able to
function according to different situations and environments. In addition, the IoT can
also help people in other industries such as for the medical industry, IoT devices can
used to monitor people's health remotely and will notify emergency if users have
unusual symptoms. In traffic, the IoT supports us with information about monitoring
issues and handling traffic safety violations.
Some IoT applications in life such as smart home, smart car, surveillance
system, and virtual power plant, automatic face recognition system, smart city ... In
this project; I have research on the topic “Apply IoT technology to design intelligent
systems for metal detection robot vehicles ". My purpose in this assignment is to
develop product plan, review of frameworks and hardware and software platforms of
the application.
The most popular hardware frameworks and platforms today include Amazon
Web Service, Cisco, Salesforce, Microsoft Azure IoT Suite…
The most popular software frameworks and platforms today include Device
Hide, Kaa, and Node-Red…
My report consists of four chapters:
- Chapter 1: Overview of IoT application analysis, design and development.
- Chapter 2: Hardware equipment analysis, software and design framework.
From there, plan to build the "Metal detection robot car model" product.
- Chapter 3: Implementation and Results.
- Chapter 4: User Feedback and System Adjustments.
In the era of technology 4.0, the deployment of IoT applications into reality
makes sense to reduce effort, time and work in places with harsh conditions that can
not accessed by humans. Since then, I built the "Metal detection robot car model"
that can help people a IoT in metal mining as well as other rare metals such as gold,

silver ... This helps the foundation. The economy can thrive thanks to IoT technology
when machines can operate efficiently instead of humans.
CHAPTER 1: IoT applications and design development

that big cities often encounter such as: environmental pollution, traffic accident,
traffic congestion, lack of energy. With smart city it will have smart functions
including: automatic monitoring, automatic management of water and energy
systems, monitoring urban security and monitoring of environmental issues of
the city. Users can easily download apps and use smart wearables they will
easily find the places they want to go.

CONCLUSION
In the era of technology 4.0, the deployment of IoT applications into practice is
as essential to help people reduce effort and time. Through the project "Metal
detection robot car model" that I designed, it can help a lot for people in metal mining
as well as other rare metals such as gold, silver... This makes the economy possible
to thrive thanks to IoT technology when machines can work effectively on behalf of
us humans.
Through this report I was able to design IoT products by myself. Despite many
shortcomings, I also successfully completed the project.
