IoTCrawler – a search engine for Internet of Things devices
IoTCrawler is a three-year long research project focusing on developing a search engine for the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling search on it’s devices. The project spans both industry, universities and cities.
IoTCrawler addresses dynamic search, discovery of IoT resources and security and privacy.
This has assisted us in our journey towards building a new internet paradigm where not just websites are discoverable through search, but also dynamic data sources and IoT devices, taking into account the complexity of internet connectivity.
With IoTCrawler we aim to make real-world data from devices accessible and actionable in creating smarter use across domains of data from IoT devices.
