Vishay Intertechnology has introduced two new automotive-grade inductors. Both IHDM-1107BBEV-2A and IHDM-1107BBEV-3A come in a 1107 case size with soft saturation current up to 422 A, depending on the model. These are through-hole, edge-wound inductors with a powdered iron alloy core that works reliably from -40 to +180 °C, keeping power losses to a minimum and achieving high thermal…

Unitree Robotics has introduced the A2. It’s an actual industrial-grade quadruped robot that can carry heavy loads and work in various scenarios. The robot has a dual battery system, and the hot-swappable design allows the swapping of batteries without having to turn it off. While the battery is installed, the robot weighs 37kg and can walk for 3 hours (12.5km) carrying 25kg of load. Without…

Automation Expo 2025 is around the corner, and Mouser Electronics, a well-established name in tech parts, is bringing its latest tech to the show. The event takes place from August 11–14 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. Visitors can head to Hall 2, Booth K-20, and explore high-performance semiconductors and electronic components that are every bit tailored for the most intensive…

DigiKey had a major Q2 expansion, bringing on 127 new suppliers and over 236,000 new products. Of these additions, at least 32,000 are new product introductions (NPIs) that are all in stock and ready for same-day shipping. This expansion bumps DigiKey’s total portfolio to over 16.5 million products.

The list of new suppliers includes DeGirum (AI tools), Minew (IoT tracking devices),…

A hardware add-on called bPiShift is on its way to simplify voltage level shifting for Raspberry Pi users. It’s a compact and solderless solution that snaps directly onto the 40-pin GPIO header of your Pi. This tool lets you interface your Raspberry Pi with 5V peripherals like sensors and serial devices, removing messy jumper wires or separate logic converter boards from the equation.

Vishay Intertechnology has released a new series of surface-mount transient voltage suppressors (TVS) that are rated at 1500 W. Designed for reliable performance in automotive systems, the T15BxxA (unidirectional) and T15BxxCA (bidirectional) series are qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and can operate at temperatures up to +185 °C.

These devices, packaged in the compact SMB (DO-214AA)…

Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled two new battery fuel gauges (BQ41Z90 and BQ41Z50). These gauges use Dynamic Z-Track™, a predictive algorithm that is known to deliver industry-leading accuracy in monitoring battery charge and health. Setting them apart from traditional methods, this adaptive tech can achieve state-of-charge and state-of-health readings within 1% error, which helps extend…

Today, Renesas Electronics introduced the RZ/G3E, a new 64-bit MPU designed for high-performance HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems that are reliant on AI acceleration and edge computing. It targets applications like industrial control panels, medical monitors, and smart retail devices. The RZ/G3E is a blend of processing efficiency, fast connectivity, and AI inference capabilities.

As reported by the Global Times, China showcased over 150 humanoid robots at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2025 in Shanghai, clearly marking its largest and most advanced exhibition as of now. Over 80 companies that specialize in embodied intelligence participated, and more than 60 new robot models were introduced for the first time ever.  

A dual-arm robotic…

If you've ever wanted a customizable smart display without the high cost or vendor lock-in, this DIY project might inspire you. Adam Conway, Lead Technical Editor and Developer for XDA, recently shared how he turned a Waveshare 64x32 P2.5 RGB matrix panel into a fully functional LED display using both a Raspberry Pi and an ESP32.

A HUB75 interface, which is standard for these types of…

Arduino has released the Nano R4, a compact development board designed to help users traverse seamlessly through every stage of product development. The board is powered by the same chip used in the popular UNO R4, the Renesas RA4M1 microcontroller, which features 256 kB of flash memory, 32 kB of SRAM, and 8 kB of EEPROM, running at 48 MHz.

The Nano R4, being designed specifically for…

A Chinese DIY studio, tired of its messy workspace, decided to take smart cleaning to a whole new level. They went ahead and built 20 AI-powered trash bins that can detect, chase, and catch flying garbage, all while giving you lip if you miss. The team gave the trash bins cameras, embedded AI models to recognize thrown objects, and motors for movement. 

When a piece of trash flies…
