Trends in robotics: Cobots, agribots and medical robots
From recreational robots such as drones, to critical operational robots in the medical field, robotic technology is changing our daily lives. Here Stewart Goulding, Managing Director at precisiondrive system supplier,Electro Mechanical Systems, explores some current trends in the industry.
Workload consolidation Intel IoT RFP Kit from congatec
congatec has presented its brand new workload consolidation kit for vision based situational awareness that is qualified by Intel as Intel IoT RFP (Ready For Production) Kit. Based on a COM Express Type 6 module equipped with Intel Xeon E2 processor, the RFP kit has three virtual machines (VMs) built on Real-Time Systems' hypervisor technology for workload consolidation in vision applications.
Energy-efficient braking crucial to autonomous vehicles
When a self-driving Uber crash led to a fatality in 2018, to many, it seemed that the autonomous vehicle revolution was over before it had chance to gather speed. If autonomous vehicles are to make it onto our driveways, energy-efficient braking systems will be crucial to minimising accidentse
How is COVID-19 shaping the future mobility landscape?
During the COVID-19 outbreak, the automotive industry has been hit hard by shutdowns of factories and sales around the world. The pandemic has slowed down global car sales and is shifting consumer behaviours in travel. Over the long term, COVID-19 could have a lasting impact on the mobility landscape.
Wireless medical sensor chip with machine learning
Ensilica has created a customisable single-chip medical sensor ASIC platform to speed the development of wearable medical / fitness vital-sign monitoring products.
MoU develops Open Autonomy solution for mining
Wenco International Mining Systems and Oxbotica have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop an Open Autonomy solution for mining. Initial trials are underway, and the companies are actively recruiting mining partners with appropriate testing grounds.
Incorporating cobots safely
Compact industrial robots are now available that can be cost-effectively integrated into even small production lines. Part of their appeal is that such robots can collaborate with a human operator to offload repetitive tasks that would otherwise tire the operator and lead to mistakes. The problem is that working in close proximity to a moving machine poses safety risks for humans. Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics, explain...
TSMC 5nm process for next generation automotive platform
NXP Semiconductors and TSMC have announced a collaboration agreement to adoptTSMC 5nm process technology for NXP’s next generation, high-performance automotive platform. This collaboration combines NXP’s automotive design expertise with TSMC’s industry-leading 5nm technology to further drive the transformation of automobiles into powerful computing systems for the road.
Digital food for thought: Smart factories and AI
Factory automation has traditionally provided the food industry with faster, more reliable and cleaner production capacity - however, with the advent of the smart factory and commercial AI the factory of the very near future is starting to make production efficiency improvement decisions itself.
