Digi-Key will use Truphone’s state of the art SIM technology, allowing users to connect IoT devices to…
STMicroelectronics announces the availability of a compact and cost-…
As the automobiles are transitioning from mechanical to electrical, the use of ECUs (electronic control units) has increased to a higher percentage. The ECUs in the electric vehicles act as the brainpower of the vehicle and are responsible for all the most important features such as safety with the help of ADAS, precise engine control, connectivity, efficiency, and comfort.…
The robotic fleets are reshaping the logistics, delivery and inspection industry and moving towards enhanced autonomy where there will be no need for human intervention. To support this view, the Wibotic has introduced the wireless charging and power optimization solution for the rapidly growing ecosystem of aerial, mobile, marine, and industrial robots. The new solution…
STMicroelectronics has released three functional-safety packages that simplify the development of safety-critical industrial, medical, consumer, and automotive products based on STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers and microprocessors.
The packages are available free of charge and contain the resources developers need to satisfy applicable IEC and ISO…
EyeRide HUD is a revolutionary connection system for helmets launched by a French company, EyeLights. Created by ex-BMW and Airbus optics and photonics Ph.D. engineers, it is a patented all-in-one device with heads-up display (compatible with all types of motorcycle helmets), GPS, hands-free kit, and voice command (to keep your eyes on the road) and comes endowed with cool…
Mitsubishi Electric has released its MELFA ASSISTA series of robots that work collaboratively with humans based on safety features such as collision detection and strict compliance with the international safety and robotic standards ISO 10218-1 and ISO/TS15066. Also, the RT VisualBox which is an intuitive engineering software is introduced for quick, easy system deployment.…
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, adhering to social distancing guidelines set by international health experts is crucial for everyone. To help people maintain proper distance and limit the spread of the virus, Imec spin-off Lopos and Ghent University have together developed the SafeDistance wearable named Lopos.
The SafeDistance wearable is an…
Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced the VectorBlox Accelerator Software Development Kit (SDK) to meet the growing need for power-efficient inferencing in edge application by making it easier for software developers to implement their algorithms in PolarFire field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). By using the SDK developers can use the PolarFire FPGAs for creating low-…
Scientists from the research group of Professor Johannes Fink at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) along with collaborators Stefano Pirandola from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of York, UK and David Vitali from the University of Camerino, Italy have come up with a new type of detection technology…
Embodied Inc. in collaboration with Yves Béhar's has come up with a social robot with machine learning technology. Named Moxie, the robot helps in promoting social, emotional, and cognitive development through everyday play-based learning and captivating content amongst children. It’s the result of the teamwork of experts in child development, engineering, technology, game…
