Abstract

At present, the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence are among the most relevant transformative technologies for making a smart world a reality. In this context, this paper explores the transformative synergy between the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by integrating AI algorithms into Arduino devices. The literature review has demonstrated a current need for optimization in implementing AI algorithms on Arduino platforms. Through a empirical literature review and practical experimentation, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of several Arduino boards, including the Portenta H7 Lite, Arduino Uno, Wemos D1 ESP8266, and Arduino Nano 33 BLE, comparing their performance for AI projects. The selection of an IoT board is emphasized based on project-specific needs and budget considerations. The research presented in this paper reveals the impact of combining IoT, AI, and Arduino on reshaping interactions with the connected world, paving the way for intelligent systems enabled for decision-making and to execute complex tasks.
