UK industry still sceptical about deployment of robots
A robotics industry expert believes that UK industry remains sceptical about the deployment of robots, and that what is needed is a more positive and realistic attitude. Dr Susanne Bieller, General Secretary of the International Federation of Robotics, voiced her thoughts ahead of Bot-Talks, an open event to be held in Bristol on Wednesday 20th November for SMEs, and organised by Bristol robotics online platform, Bot-Hive.
5G to let automakers test limitless connectivity scenarios
Spirent Communications hasannounced a significant expansion of its work with the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick via the Midlands Future Mobility (MFM) initiative in the United Kingdom.
Autonomous cars and overcoming the inadequacies of road mapping
Functional safety standards for self‑driving cars require redundancy in case any of the sensors - LiDAR, radar, cameras, etc. - fails. While sensors such as radar and LiDAR may provide redundancy for object detection, when it comes to cameras only a highly accurate map can serve as the source of redundancy, helping the autonomous vehicle make the right decisions by comparing their visual glimpses of the world with a map stored in memory.
Next-gen robotic combat vehicles to ignite fresh growth prospects
Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, ‘US Military Combat Vehicle Market, Forecast to 2024’, has revealed that the US Army is significantly investing in enhancing its ageing combat vehicle (CV) fleet while also developing next-generation vehicles that will operate un-manned, collect intelligence, and follow an optionally manned vehicle leader.
Modular solution tests the brains of autonomous vehicles
A solution to test the computing platform for autonomous vehicles (AVs) has been released by NI. AVs are complex systems to test. At the heart of the AV is a powerful computing platform that analyses the environment around the vehicle and determines the appropriate action to help ensure the safety of the car and its surroundings.
Next-generation hardware-based cyber security products
UltraSoC has announced next-generation hardware-based cyber security products that can be used to detect, block and record cyber attacks in a broad range of applications, from vehicles and factory robots to consumer devices. These new offerings embed advanced real-time cyber security features in the systems-on-chip (SoCs) that power and control every modern product.
MIPI camera modules at the iREX2019 robotics show
At the iREX2019, Vision Components will present camera boards and embedded vision systems for robotic vision applications such as robot guidance, bin picking, and code reading. The German vision experts the global market for camera modules with a MIPI CSI-2 interface, now offering ten different image sensors with resolutions up to 13 MP.
Magnetic sensor market size surging forwards
The Magnetic Sensor Market size is set to grow from its current market value of more than $2bn to over $3.5bn by 2025; as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights. The semiconductor industry has been witnessing extensive technological advancements with the growing demand for more capable sensors with higher sensitivity, durability, and accuracy.
What’s fuelling our data?
In 2018, Chinese data centres produced 99 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) - generating the equivalent environmental footprint of around 21 million cars. With global data traffic more than doubling every four years, it’s no surprise that the environmental impact of data centres is coming under scrutiny. Here, Simone Bruckner, Managing Director ofCressall Resistors, investigates the efficiency of our data centres.
Duo deliver safety to European roads with new car technology
NXP Semiconductors has announced the rollout of its life-saving RoadLINK V2X communication solution in the new Volkswagen Golf. The recently released Golf of the 8th generation is the first volume European car model equipped with V2X, offering a major boost to the deployment of the technology on European roads and beyond. The technology can prevent accidents by having cars communicate with each other, independent of car brands and without the sup...
