Internet of Things and People
and People
Internet of Things and People (IoTaP) is a research centre that studies how people can get the most out of the Internet of Things. The work involves computer scientists, interaction designers, professionals and users. Through applied research, IoTaP addresses a range of current challenges in society within areas such as energy, transportation, health, learning and home automation.
Our vision is to be the leading research environment in making the Internet of Things useful and usable.
Paul Davidsson, Director
Our research
The evolution of IoT has largely been driven by developments in technology. Computing power and connectivity are becoming smaller, cheaper and more energy efficient, making it possible to connect and augment an increasing range of objects. How people can make meaningful use of these new technical possibilities is, however, still an open question. In order to develop successful products and services, the perspective of the users must be integrated in the studies on the Internet of Things.
IoTaP's mission is to:
- address important societal challenges through IoT research
- produce new knowledge that when applied will provide value for IoT users
- contribute to innovation through co-production with industrial and societal organisations
- publish research results regularly in well-reputed scientific journals and present the results at leading scientific conferences
- inform organisations and a broad audience about research results through seminars, popular science articles, and media appearances
- provide an attractive working environment

The IoTaP lab
The IoTaP lab is a creative environment for research and development of IoT-based infrastructure and user interfaces. The lab is open to researchers and students working in IoTaP-related projects, and to existing and future IoTaP partners, both commercial and academic.
Location: Room C0526, Niagara, Nordenskiöldsgatan 1
Contact: Lab coordinator Johan Holmberg
Who is it for?
The lab is open to our researchers, students working in IOTAP-related projects, and to IOTAP partners, both commercial and academic.
Do you want to spend time in the lab?
We provide access to the lab depending on relevance to the IOTAP research center and on currently available space.
What can the lab be used for?
The lab can be used for rapid development of interactive and embedded IoT systems. The lab provides a suitable environment for demonstrating new concepts and prototypes.
What kind of equipment is there?
The lab offers a variety of equipment for IoT prototyping and rapid development including cloud deployment with support for virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR). We also offer a physical space for your project to happen in.
We have a strong focus on the Arduino platform with a large selection of diverse shields to extend the projects’ connectivity. Additionally, we work with Raspberry Pi and other microcontroller boards. We offer a wide variety of sensors and actuators for both platforms that include off-the-shelf products like Philips Hue kits and commercial products from our partners.
We also offer 3D printing capabilities. For exploring interaction and visualization, we work with different gesture, haptic, voice, VR, and AR platforms to extend data beyond the 2D screen.
We offer a dedicated network for all things IoT, wireless as well as wired. We also offer several ways of connecting your projects through e.g. Zigbee, WiFi, GPRS, as well as more passive technologies such as Bluetooth beacons and NFC/RFID.
What kind of help can I get?
The lab offers help with most aspects of prototype development. We can get you started with designing your IoT artefact and we are happy to help in choosing and getting up to speed with a relevant development platform, e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Hololens.
Our network of competencies includes people experienced in:
- Interaction design and technology
- Sensor network architecture
- Data gathering and analysis
- Connectivity
- Rapid prototyping and digital fabrication
Smart Campus
A smart campus links connected devices, infrastructure, applications, and people to make a university campus as a platform for innovation with opportunities for enabling new experience, services and improving operational efficiency. This interaction will make a university campus smarter when IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) come together for deriving the knowledge from IoT data. This results in elevating user experiences to an unprecedented new level. For example, the students, researchers, staff, and visitors can benefit from location-aware and context-aware services for using campus equipment and collaboration services.
Strategic Recognition: Our Impactful Research on IVA's 100 List
Our research is included in IVA´s 100 List 2024 research projects focusing on climate change, energy supply, welfare technology, cyber security, and Crisis preparedness. It is deemed to have great potential to benefit through commercialization, business, and method development, as well as societal impact.
