Constantly changing environments represent an enormous challenge for modern driver assistance systems. To meet these challenges, software controlled automotive radars offer entirely new opportunities. They are compact, low cost, and also extremely versatile and highly reconfigurable.

Traffic networking promises more safety, more energy efficiency, and fewer emissions. To do this, the first commercial technology connects automobiles with the 'curb' via LTE.Smart traffic systems and networked automobiles are the milestones on the way to the completely driverless vehicle. And LTE-V2X (Vehicle-to-everything,V2X) is one of the technologies that may make this happen. It connects vehicles directly with each other, with the traffic i...

Vehicle construction is an innovation driver in Germany, and according to the report INNOVATIONEN IN DER DEUTSCHEN WIRTSCHAFT (Innovations in the German economy) of the Fraunhofer Institute and the Center for European Economic Research, €52.4 billion was invested in 2016 alone – with an upward trend.The focus is on autonomous driving, and new developments in this area mean continuous process changes, not just for automobile manufacture...

This month, the first pilot of the SV4D, Sustainable Villages for Development project took Fraunhofer AICOS’ researchers to Mocuba and Alto Molocue Districts in Mozambique, where they travelled to complement and deploy networking infrastructure, allowing locals to connect to the internet.

LASER COMPONENTS and the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS have signed a cooperation agreement and will collaborate closely in the future. Especially in the field of LiDAR technologies, both partners promise fresh impetus. Regarding components for the automotive industry, LASER COMPONENTS has made a name for itself primarily with powerful pulsed laser diodes. The researchers from Duisburg can contribute new sensor ...

It has been announced that MEN is now part of the HASELNUSS consortium of DB Netz AG, the Fraunhofer Institute, Sysgo and TU-Darmstadt for the development of hardware-based safety platforms for railway control and security technology. Thanks to experience in the safety-critical transport sector, MEN can advise the research project on questions relating to safety architecture.

Industrial robots are the crucial part of digitalisation of the manufacturing industry around the world. The new World Robotics Report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) shows that a record of 381.000 units have been shipped globally, up 30%. Sales value increased by 21% to a new peak of $16.2bn. At the same time total number of professional service robots sold rose by 85%.

Security is the key feature in any electronics system or product, whether it is embedded in the hardware or implemented using software. Hosted by Electronic Specifier, the Cyber Security Forum at electronica will offer a range of solutions from four key industry sectors. The forum will take place on 14th-15th November, hall C3, stand 534.

At the EU PVSEC conference, imec, research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics, energy and digital technology and partner in EnergyVille, announced that its latest generation of large-area monofacial screen-printed rear-emitter nPERT cells feature a conversion efficiency of 23.03%, certified by Fraunhofer ISE CalLab.

The health industry is going through a period of dramatic change. We are seeing more and more digital solutions throughout the patient journey - at every stage from prevention and diagnosis to treatment. Medicine 4.0 can only work on the basis of collaborative efforts at the point where the medical and engineering disciplines overlap.
