You could work on doing the Edge processing on the sensors

The Research Report consists of at least a Literature review, a Project Plan, and a Discussion of professional, legal, and ethical considerations for your research project.

We don''t have a prescriptive style/format, but you should choose a font that is easy to read (normally 11 or 12 pt) and are encouraged to use one-and-a-half line spacing.

You should include appendices for additional material not central to the report (e.g., questionnaires, screenshots).

Latex is recommended (here is a latex template on Overleaf)

The report should be divided into several chapters or sections, for example:

1. Title page: your name, your course, your Project title, your Supervisor''s name, the DATE.

2. An abstract of the Research Report (about 200 words)

3. An introduction with motivation and the objectives of your project, as agreed with your supervisor.

4. A literature review chapter, as agreed with your supervisor (see above).
This is a 15 to 20-page chapter in which you:
- introduce the topic and explain its significance;
- discuss relevant literature for each of the main ideas in the topic;
- summarise the literature to make a critical assessment of the topic;
- make recommendations for further action.

5. Requirements analysis - (derived from aims and objectives, and linked to evaluation).

6. (Optional) Methodology - some modeling/formal analysis to improve your understanding of the issues/problem you are addressing.

7. A discussion of the Professional, Legal, Ethical, and Social issues for your project.

8. Project Plan (project task analysis and Gantt chart)

9. A conclusion and discussion of the limitations for your project.

Also remember to include a Table of contents, List of Figures, References, Bibliography.

Your report should:

be based on at least 10 references;
have at least 50% published sources, e.g. books, journals, conference/workshop proceedings, magazines;
avoid unattributed Internet sources, especially Wikipedia.
The probable length for the whole Research Report is ~30 (max 40) pages.

Quality is far more important than length!
