A Modular Automotive Reference System (MARS) has been introduced by ON Semiconductor that gives system and software developers a ready-to-use camera for research and development activities. The MARS platform enables users to reconfigure cameras with different lenses, image sensors, Image Signal Processors (ISPs) and communications options for rapid prototyping and experimentation.

Volvo Cars has announced that the XC60 SUV – which will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show – will feature three new advanced driver assistance features aimed at keeping the driver out of trouble. The new safety features are designed to provide the driver with automatic steering assistance or support – when required – to help avoid potential collisions. Volvo believes that these new features will make the new XC60 one of ...

Over the next ten years, we’ll likely see driverless cars cruising alongside traditional autos on our roads. As the technology for self-driving cars is becoming more advanced and excitement grows, so do concerns and questions about their effect on the future of driving.

A landmark study revealing broad public support for driverless vehicles on Britain’s roads has been published by Westbourne Communications. Following a highly competitive bid process, the People in Autonomous Vehicles in Urban Environments (PAVE) consortium secured joint funding by government and industry. The competition was delivered by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency.

The buzzword in drone research is autonomous - having the unmanned aerial vehicle do most or all of its own flying. It's the only realistic way that drones will have commercially viable uses such as delivering that roll of toilet paper to customers, said Manish Kumar, associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Cincinnati's College of Engineering and Applied Science.

Analog Devices announced the Drive360TM 28nm CMOS RADAR technology platform that builds on its established ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), MEMS, and RADAR technology portfolio used throughout the automotive industry. Analog Devices is the first to offer automotive RADAR technology based on a 28nm CMOS process and the new Drive360 RADAR platform brings RF performance to advanced safety and autonomous driving applications.

We all remember Tay? The chatbot from Microsoft, which turned out to be xenophobic and racist and certainly was a lesson in inefficient AI. The experiment, held on a dedicated Twitter account, quickly descended into chaos when the chatbot began sprouting Nazi support and offending Twitter users in various awful ways. 

EOS has announced its support of the Swiss society Devanthro and the Roboy project at the Technical University of Munich. The idea behind this project, Roboy, is to advance humanoid robotics to the capability of human bodies. The vision is to iteratively improve Roboy models until the performance is comparable to humans in dexterity, robustness and flexibility.

In anticipation of the age of voice-controlled electronics, MIT researchers have built a low-power chip specialised for automatic speech recognition. Whereas a cellphone running speech-recognition software might require about 1 W of power, the new chip requires between 0.2 and 10 milliwatts, depending on the number of words it has to recognise. In a real-world application, that probably translates to a power savings of 90 to 99%, which could...
