THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota, USA - DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, and Qorvo®, a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announced a worldwide distribution agreement. This collaboration will further enhance the…
VeriSilicon has announced the launch of its new AI-based image processing IP series featuring AI Noise Reduction (AI-NR) and AI Super Resolution (AI-SR) solutions. The company introduced two IPs for each series, the AINR1000 and AINR2000 for noise reduction and the AISR1000 and AISR2000 for super resolution. These IPs offer cost-effective and efficient performance…
A YouTuber has shared a gesture sensor that detects hand movements using electric field sensing. Unlike optical or infrared sensors, this method works through non-metallic surfaces, enhancing usability in enclosed environments. The sensor is based on Microchip’s MGC3130, a 3D gesture recognition controller that enables swipe gestures, circular motions, and depth…
CARL is an autonomous underwater vehicle designed by researchers Peter Gunnarson and John O. Dabiri, this robot uses vortex rings, the spinning pockets of water, to move efficiently, reducing energy use by nearly 80%. Instead of constantly using its motors, CARL detects and rides these natural flows.
CARL is equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a sensor that detects motion…
Vishay Intertechnology has launched a new series of high-voltage surface-mount multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) designed for a wide range of commercial applications. These capacitors, available in seven different sizes (from 1206 to 2225). They are ideal for filtering and energy storage applications in industries like power generation, industrial automation, consumer electronics, telecom…
While a skydriver falls from the sky or when a starship adjusts its position, they use air resistance to steer. This mechanism is used by this Floaty, a skydiver Robot made by Youtuber and researcher as a part of his PhD research which flies in a wind tunnel.
Floaty has flaps that tilt and adjust the air dynamics while floating, like how a skydriver spreads or tucks their arms and legs…
Researchers at Imperial College London have long been investigating the mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance in superbugs. Led by Professor José R. Penadés, the team developed a unique hypothesis that superbugs form a viral tail to aid their movement between species. In a recent breakthrough, Google’s AI tool, known as Co-Scientist and built on the Gemini 2.0…
We often see multi-monitor setups and curved screens in gaming and workstation setups, but not in embedded systems. What if we could bring this idea to microcontrollers? Charles Giguère from The Last Outpost Workshop did exactly that by creating a curved display using multiple small screens and ESP32 microcontrollers.
The project started as an experiment to see if multiple ESP32…
A developer has built a self-balancing robot featuring a custom motor control system powered by an ESP32 microcontroller. The system integrates an H-Bridge circuit with MOSFETs for efficient motor operation, allowing precise bidirectional movement and smooth speed adjustments through Pulse Width…
Telangana IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu has formally invited the Queensland government to invest in the state’s proposed AI City near Hyderabad. A high-level delegation from Queensland led by Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Minister Rosslyn Mary Bates visited to explore opportunities for strategic collaboration. The visit marks an important step…
Robots come in many forms, but some can move in all directions just by adjusting their shape. Joshua Stanley, a creator on YouTube, has previously created Fred, a rolling robot with a hexagonal folding design. The creator took a different path this time and made improvements, hence the birth of Marc, a new multi-directional rolling cube.
The older version is much more complex, so he…
A Look at Sensorless Homing: Stepper Motor Control Without End Switches
Stepper motors play a crucial role in various industrial and DIY applications, providing precise control over movement in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotic arms. Typically, these motors rely on external sensors or end switches to detect their home position or stop movement at a predefined point. These sensors…
