There has been a lot going on at HANNOVER MESSE this week, and it has recently been announced that the winner of the Robotics Award 2017 is fleXstructures, a company founded back in 2011.The joint prize from the organisers of HANNOVER MESSE and the Konradin-Verlag publishing house, was given at the official ceremony held on Tuesday 25th, and the CEO of fleXstructures, Oliver Hermanns was delighted to receive the prize in honor of its ‘IPS R...

Sometimes cobots are treated like humans; well this is certainly the case at the ‘Robozän’ temp agency, which actually leases robots to companies at just minimum wage.Designed to make our work easier, Cobots can execute monotonous or particularly hazardous tasks reliably and without complaint.

Gallium nitride (GaN) chips showcased their power (and how they boost power density and energy efficiency) at the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) which was held on 26th to 30th March 2017 in Tampa, Florida.

With a wealth of fascinating technologies being developed specifically for autonomous driving the possibilities are appearing endless, from neural networks to advanced sensors. However, there is a less glamorous technology, which may hold just as much importance, but will not get all the glory- the roads.

Real-Time Innovations (RTI)has announced record growth. RTI followed up its 31% annual growth in 2015, with 42% in 2016 and another 48% in Q1 of 2017, doubling in just over two years. RTI Connext DDS subscription sales to existing customers is growing 140% (“SaaS” retention), indicating that RTI's customers are successful, loyal and growing.

An artificial intelligence (AI) company based in Oxford, is planning to bring driverless cars to the streets of the UK. Oxbotica is leading a consortium of companies that will help to cement the UK’s reputation as a world leader in the development of autonomous vehicles.

The introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), fully autonomous vehicle technology and electrified powertrains is leading to a different level of manufacturing complexity never seen before. Design engineers are being challenged to carry out whole system diagnostics and characterization to determine safe, reliable and predictable behavior of the next generation on-board control and environmental electronic systems.

The road to autonomous driving is built on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and new applications focused on safer driving environments for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.

Omron Electronic Components Europe has announced the availability of what it believes is the world’s smallest class size seismic sensor, specifically designed to trigger the shutdown of potentially hazardous or easily damaged systems in the event of an earthquake.Specifically designed for the growing number of autonomous IoT systems, the Omron D7S provides high precision measurement of spectral intensity, allowing it to reject impulse vibra...

The combination of data from multiple sensor types can give electronic systems much richer and more accurate information about their environment, writes Martin Keenan, Technical Manager at Avnet Abacus.
