A wristband for personalised dementia therapy
Dementia is an age-related disease that is becoming ever more prevalent as demographics change. It affects primarily people over the age of 80, with this group accounting for more than 70 percent of all dementia sufferers. Caring for these patients is an enormous challenge for their families and caregivers, especially since, in most cases, key health data lacks any useful structure and is not available when it is needed.
Self-illuminating pixels for the latest generation of displays
There are videos on the internet that can make one marvel at technology. For example, a smartphone is bent around the arm or a thin-film display is rolled in all directions and with almost every diameter. From the user's point of view, this looks fantastic. From a professional point of view, however, the question arises: Is that already possible?At Display Week 2018, scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP will b...
Sensor technology: electronics with every sense
The digital world depends on data and that data increasingly comes from networked, intelligent sensor technology. As one of the key technologies for the future developments in IoT, autonomous driving, Industry 4.0, smart healthcare, and smart cities, visitors will find sensor technology in many of the sectors and events at electronica, held on 13th to 16th November, 2018.
Why no one can score against the unbeatable RoboKeeper
As the world cup kicked off in Moscow on June 14th, the German team failed to notice they were short one player, a world-class goalie. Neymar couldn’t beat him, Ronaldo failed, but the German keeper would not have conformed with the rules - it is a robot.Called ‘RoboKeeper’, the computer-controlled football machine is a development of the Fraunhofer-Institut für Materialfluss und Logistik (IML). Back in 2006, when Germany w...

Powerful IT security for the car of the future
Protecting cars against cyber attacks is becoming increasingly important as more and more electronics are used to steer, accelerate and brake cars. That is why 15 partners from industry and academia will work together over the next three years on new approaches to IT security in self-driving cars.
3D solder joint inspection products aimed at the European market
Electronics company, Omron promotes VT-S530 PCB inspection system and VT-X750 high speed automated X-Ray CT inspection system as flagship products representing 3D solder joint inspection technology.
VTT Marilyn takes a leap towards automatic 24/7 driving
VTT's robot car, Marilyn, sees better than humans in foggy, and even snowy, conditions, and can now navigate without stopping – including in bad weather. It can also see a human through fog and avoid accident automatically. This is enabled by the LiDAR mounted on the car’s roof, which can see wavelengths that are beyond the human senses. As the technology evolves, this represents a step towards a safe automated vehicle that is not eve...
Human-robot interaction unlocks potential of service robotics
Together graphics displays, artificial intelligence and sensors, enable advances in human-robot interaction and are ushering in a new generation of service robots that are easy to programme and intuitive to use.In Munich, from 19-22nd June, 2018,automaticawill demonstrate how products and systems - from flexible, collaborative robot tools to smart warehouses and humanoids - place people at the heart of their design, enabling not only better assis...
Making perovskite solar cells a market reality
Imec has been named the coordinator of an ambitious 3-year EU funded project, “ESPResSo” (Efficient Structures and Processes for Reliable Perovskite Solar Modules), that gathers known leaders in the field of perovskite PV technology to revolutionise Europe’s photovoltaics (PV) industry.
