The changing landscape for semiconductor industry mergers and acquisitions has been addressed byIC InsightsIn its upcomingMid-Year UpdatetoThe McClean Report 2017.The historic flood of merger and acquisition agreements that swept through the semiconductor industry in the past two years slowed to a trickle in the first half of 2017, with the combined value of about a dozen transactions announced in 1H17 reaching just $1.4bn.

The automotive industry is focusing its efforts on developing solutions for autonomous driving and car-to-car communication. At the same time, the communications industry is moving towards 5G, and broadband networks are becoming ever faster. Large and complex volumes of data need to be transmitted securely in fractions of a second. Demanding applications such as these require specially developed printed circuit board (PCB) and interconnection tec...

Over recent years Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have advanced from simple materials handlers to intelligent autonomous robots. How has this happened? Jonathan Wilkins, Marketing Director of obsolete industrial parts supplier, EU Automation, explains.

With the introduction of industrial-strength microcontrollers (MCUs) delivering higher performance, more features and lower power, Silicon Labs has expanded its energy-friendly EFM32 Gecko portfolio. The new EFM32GG11 Giant Gecko MCU family offers a wide feature set for the low-power MCU market, targeting smart metering, asset tracking, industrial/building automation, wearables and personal medical applications.

A future android brain like that of Star Trek’s Commander Data might contain neuristors, multi-circuit components that emulate the firings of human neurons.Neuristors already exist today in labs, in small quantities, and to fuel the quest to boost neuristors’ power and numbers for practical use in brain-like computing, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a $7.1 million grant to a research team led by the Georgia Institute of Te...

Following a government funded feasibility study, the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) has been awarded a contract worth £8m to trial vehicle platooning on the UK’s roads.

To help monetise data-driven applications within the automotive industry, provider of automotive IoT cyber security solutions, Trillium, has introduced its new data mining and analytics solution, SecureSKYE.

At Hardware Pioneers’ event ‘The Industrial IoT Revolution’, in London, Bob Tait, Channel Demand Creation at Xilinx, spoke about how the company plays a part in the Industrial IoT Revolution.

By 2027, mobile robotics in material handling and logistics will have become a $75bn market. It will then more than double by 2038. These staggering headline figures mask turbulent transformative change underneath: some technologies will rise and transform the fortunes of industries, fuelling growth rates far outpacing recent trends, whilst others will face with decay and obsolescence. We are at the beginning of the beginning of a transformative ...

For those who dislike parking, worry no more; manual parking is now a thing of the past. At the Mercedes-Benz Museum parking garage in Stuttgart, Bosch and Daimler have made automated valet parking a reality. With a command from a smartphone, drivers can now automatically park cars in their assigned spots without having to monitor the vehicles’ movements. Automated valet parking is an important milestone on the road to autonomous driving.
