Embedded systems - Wireless Sensors Networks, I know it has been there for long time but IoT would encourage it more. It could enable development of different kinds of devices as well. Look at camera industry for example. There should be more types of sensor to be more popular than just the image sensor. Quadcopter/Drone/AI etc. In my view, there are still a huge room of applications where wireless and sensor combined, and we already have web/native platforms. This is so exciting development!

  I was thinking of a group or cluster of quadcopter flying together. There are some nice protocols and topologies in Wireless Sensor Network topic. While devices' sensors collecting environment data they can communicate with each other in several ways (e.g. ad-hoc, hierarchy) and command each one to behave in different ways (e.g. quadcopters maneuver in whatever beneficial pattern) Some more ideas on that flying object example, it could calculate overall battery usage and balance it all over cluster by wireless charging on the fly. Underwater devices or robots would be more interesting.

  Well, one obvious example is the space probe(rosetta) that use sensor to detect comet's surface and sent data back to earth: http://kdvr.com/2016/09/30/rosetta-landing-comet-chasing-probe-makes-final-touchdown/ http://kdvr.com/2016/09/30/rosetta-landing-comet-chasing-pro...

  I mean the other sensors should be able to make their own big industries as well. Sorry about that.
