A brushless DC motor has been designed by Printed Motor Works for use in dynamic vehicle testing. The high power-density motor is part of a steering robot developed by Anthony Best Dynamics.The system helps provide a repeatable test environment for quantitative testing of road vehicles on the track. The compact design of the motor enables the assembly to be mounted behind the steering wheel, allowing normal driver operation between tests.

A range of Ethernet IO modules have been introduced by Pepperl+Fuchs which support all common Ethernet protocols, such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and EtherCAT, in a single device. The integrated IO-Link master function allows diagnosis and parameterisation.

Available inrobust and space saving automotive housings,Rosenberger has released its H-MTD connectors (High-Speed Modular Twisted-Pair Data) that combine high-performance data transmission up to 15GHz or 20Gbps and small package sizes. Due to its modular design the 360° fully shielded differential connector system enables a wide range of and future automotive applications, e.g. camera systems, high-resolution displays, fond entertainment or a...

Nuance Communication has announced that its Dragon Drive artificial intelligence (AI) platform for the connected car now features expanded conversational and cognitive capabilities for its Automotive Assistant to provide everyone in the car – drivers and passengers – with the ability to ask for navigation, music, content and other in-car features just by speaking – no wake-up phrase or button press required.

A team of MIT engineers has come up with a much less expensive UAV design that can hover for longer durations to provide wide-ranging communications support. The researchers designed, built, and tested a UAV resembling a thin glider with a 24-foot wingspan. The vehicle can carry 10 to 20 pounds of communications equipment while flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet.
