Robotic bat's flight characteristics simulates the real thing
Bats have long captured the imaginations of scientists and engineers with their unrivaled agility and maneuvering characteristics, achieved by functionally versatile dynamic wing conformations as well as more than forty active and passive joints on the wings. However, their wing flexibility and complex wing kinematics pose significant technological challenges for robot modelling, design, and control.
China sends out a message at CES
While discussing the subject of technology, we in the west tend to have certain pre-conceived ideas when it comes to China. A country that is still perceived as something of an enigma for some, and which has a reputation as nothing more than an imitator that indulges in counterfeit activity and tends to completely ignore intellectual property, whilst pilfering ideas from the US and Europe to reassemble on the cheap.

Dragonfly to become the smallest aerial vehicle
A micro-aerial vehicle is in project focus with surprising components: an actual dragonfly insect being steered to create an aerial vehicle smaller lighter and stealthier than anything that is man made.We are used to scientists wanting to copy insects when engineering the design of aerial items. Well, here the goal of the project is to turn insects into cyborg drones.The research and development project is going on at Cambridge, MA-based Draper.
Greater precision enhances time-to-digital converter
Improved speed and precision together with low power consumption are enhancements made to ams’s time-to-digital converter (TDC) offering. The new TDC-GPX2 also features standard low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) and serial peripheral (SPI) interfaces, and a new, smaller 9mm x 9mm QFN64 package.
