CEVA has announced that Inuitive has licensed and deployed the CEVA-XM4 intelligent vision DSP in its next-gen AR/VR and computer vision SoC, the NU4000. Inuitive will leverage the CEVA-XM4 to run complex, real-time depth sensing, feature tracking, object recognition, deep learning and other vision-related algorithms targeting a range of mobile devices, including augmented and virtual reality headsets, drones, consumer robots, 360 degree cameras ...

Easing and securing the implementation of pack-side battery gauges in portable devices, the ModelGauge m5 portfolio has been announced by Maxim Integrated Products. The MAX17201/MAX17205 and MAX17211/MAX17215 fuel gauges are claimed by the manufacturer to be the industry’s first to integrate SHA-256 for secure authentication to prevent battery clones.

The dirty, dusty and noisy environment of a busy building site is perhaps the last place you’d expect to find the latest technology innovations. Indeed, the majority of fundamental building tools haven’t really changed that much since mankind developed the ability to create them. However, the high-tech buildings and cities of tomorrow are being designed and constructed by equally revolutionary technology.

ETH Zurich will present a whole range of projects at this year’s International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. At the invitation of curator Alejandro Aravena, several project groups in which ETH is involved will present their contributions in the main exhibition, exhibit at national pavilions and play an active role in the supporting programme.Confronted with rapid population growth, urban regions face an influx of migrants and the chall...

A study shows that drones which investigate sensitive water bird species in the wild can be used in a way that has little impact on their natural movement, according to research by the University of New England. Dr Paul McDonald from the School of Environmental and Rural Science said his team wanted to know the impacts drones have on easily disturbed animals.

Supplier of next generation system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, Socionext, has launched a new evaluation solution package for its 360° Wrap-Around View (WAV) system. The package combines the hardware, software and support services necessary for initial evaluation and development of the WAV system.

University of Bristol scientists are researching how drones can be used to speed up landmine clearance to demonstrate how large, football pitch-sized areas can be mapped quickly.The research, led by Dr John Day of the Interface Analysis Centre in Bristol’s School of Physics, is funded by Find A Better Way, the charity founded by England and Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton.

The number of drones employed by European emergency services could be on the rise following the European Emergency Number Association’s (EENA) annual conference in Prague, Czech Republic, this week.

The eSOMTK1, an nVIDIA Tegra K1 (TK1) system-on-module (SOM) manufactured by e-con Systems offers engineers the opportunity to dramatically improve time-to-market for their product designs. The module, available at L2Tek, facilitates faster simultaneous hardware and software development. The compact SOM is ideal for drones, smart surveillance, robotics and telepresence applications.

After studying how insects navigate through dense vegetation, researchers at Lund University have come up with a system that can be applied to flying robots. By adapting the system to drones, they can be made to adjust their speed to their surroundings and fly on their own– completely without human intervention and control.
