Artificial Intelligence

Hot off the press! By utilising excess heat from data centre servers together with the latest technology, you can now experience the world’s first data-driven sauna. Sauna goers can muster up a sweat when people all around the world are surfing the web, searching databases and using cloud services. The Finnish-Swedish company Tieto stays true to the legacy of the sauna tradition and never misses an opportunity to slip out of the c...

  If planet Earth had been created one year ago, the human species would be just ten minutes old. Putting this into context, the industrial era would have kick-started a mere two seconds ago. In this article, Stephen Parker, CEO of Parker Software, examines whether artificial intelligence is all it’s cracked up to be. 

Having first entered the Head-Up Display (HUD) solutions market in 2013, the HUDWAY company is now releasing its new product for smart driving: HUDWAY Drive, an aftermarket HUD for any car. The delivery is scheduled for May 2017. HUDWAY Drive is a portable head-up display that projects a live colour image onto a transparent lens and presents information in driver’s line of sight, on the road ahead, enabling drivers to keep th...

The company who pioneered the first ever camera-based Parking Guidance System (PGS), Park Assist has now announced that patent awards have been granted for its M4 Smart-Sensor System in both the US and the UK. The company claims that this recognition of Park Assist’s proprietary technology has established the M4 system as the world’s only patented camera-based PGS.

Not so long ago discussions around artificial intelligence in robotics were limited to theoretical ideas and possible applications. But now the existing systems are already capable of taking advantage of advanced AI to help make robotics and automation more efficient. And it doesn’t have to stop at laboratories and research facilities either. Artificial intelligence is already being used in production lines and other practical applicat...

Imagination Technologies has unveiled its next-gen PowerVR Furian architecture, an entirely new GPU architecture designed for the evolved graphics and compute needs of next-gen consumer devices. Applications such as VR/AR and convertibles require higher graphics resolutions and frame rates, and emerging applications such as ADAS and machine intelligence require increased compute efficiency. Devices designed for these applications are often design...

  Navdy, the world’s first augmented driving device that harnesses the power of Augmented Reality (AR) to project information as a transparent image directly in the driver's line of sight, for an all-new driving experience, has now launched in the UK.

For long-term operation, automotive embedded systems demand the highest degree of reliability and safety. At the same time, the development of these often complex systems is also subject to high costs and pressure to meet customer’s delivery deadline. At embedded world 2017, the companies INCHRON, iSYSTEM, OpenSynergy and Renesas Elecronics Europe will jointly present a demonstrator for car driver assistance systems that enables the fulfilm...

Recent changes in the law have seen tougher penalties introduced for drivers who use smartphones and internet-enabled devices while behind the wheel in the UK. However, in an effort to provide a solution for drivers who used to rely on their smartphones to get from A to B, a new heads up display (HUD) navigation system has been introduced called FOCUS.

The MAX2769Cuniversal global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver from Maxim Integrated is in stock at Mouser Electronics. Touted as one of the industry's first universal, single-chip GNSS receivers for GPS (L1 C/A code and P-code), Galileo, BeiDou and GLONASS navigation satellite systems, the MAX2769C requires only a few external components to form a complete low-cost GPS receiver solution.
