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.

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...

There really are no limits in the modern world when it comes to the number of potential applications for robotics. Here, we look at the ten most exciting and intriguing robotics stories over the past month. Click on the company name to read the full story.

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.

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'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...

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...

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.

With the available frequencies increasingly used up, the communication industry faces some big challenges: Demand is growing for wireless communication systems that work faultlessly even when coexistence and interference problems arise. The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has developed digitally tunable radio frequency filters (RF filters) that provide dynamic access to a variety of frequencies without any delay.

Creating new communication requirements between machines (machine to x) and IT infrastructure is the continuous innovation and data-driven business models in Industry 4.0.To ensure interoperability and communication, Assystem Technologies has initiated a one-of-a-kind standardisation project, providing a ‘Reference Model for Industrial Cloud Federation’.
