Achieving High Efficiency and Enabling Integration in EV Powertrain Subsystems
Read more
There are a variety of architectures and topologies used in electric vehicle powertrain subsystems like onboard chargers (OBCs) and high-voltage to low-voltage DC/ DC converters. Efficient control and management of the power flow in these systems can be achieved using one or more real-time microcontrollers (MCUs).

Creating an insect-inspired autonomous robot navigation strategy
Read more
TU Delft drone researchers have created an insect-inspired autonomous robot navigation strategy based on how ants visually recognise their environment and count their steps to return home. By applying these biological insights, they have developed an insect-inspired navigation strategy for tiny, lightweight robots. This strategy enables robots to return home after long journeys, requiring minimal computation and memory (1.16kB per 100m). Potential future uses for these robots include warehouse inventory monitoring and industrial gas leak detection. The researchers published their findings in Science Robotics on 17th July 2024.
