At the recent International Automotive Technology Expo (Auto Tech) in Chongqing, China, Beijing Autoroad Technology and STMicroelectronics jointly showcased innovative automotive radar solutions.Autonomous driving requires the broad adoption of advanced safety technologies that use a combination of cameras and lasers, ultrasonic and IR sensors, and MMW radar.

In 2016, combined sales for optoelectronics, sensors and actuators, and discrete semiconductors increased two percent to reach a seventh consecutive record-high level of $67.9bn, but growth rates in the three market segments were all over the map last year. Optoelectronics sales fell four percent in 2016, primarily because of the first decline in lamp devices in 15 years due to an oversupply of high-brightness Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) for sol...

It has been announced by Rajant, that Sharp Electronics Corporation (‘SEC’) will use its Kinetic Mesh technology as the wireless communications infrastructure for the Sharp INTELLOS Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle (‘A-UGV’).The mobility, reliability and scalability of Rajant’s network were key reasons for the company’s selection.Its BreadCrumb radios, InstaMesh networking software, military-grade security and...

This webinar will share research recently carried out for the new IDTechEx report, Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) 2017-2027. Tethered kites and aircraft and the like can produce electricity from the stronger and more consistent winds higher than those reached by conventional wind turbines.

The private, non-profit Swiss research and technology organisation,CSEM, has announced that its Vision-in-Package system for real-time embedded facial recognition was recognised by the judges of the annual Vision Systems Design Innovators Awards programme. The judging panel consisted of esteemed experts from system integrator and end-user companies andCSEM was honoured with a gold-level award.

The fuel efficiency demands are pushing carmakers to produce more electric, hybrid, andPHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles). That, among other things, will require a major design overhaul of vehicle’s electronic building blocks such as ECUs and MCUs.

Engineering consultancy Meinhardt UK has welcomed the news that one of the largest rental community schemes in the UK, at Greenford Green, Ealing, London, has earned planning consent.Global real estate company Greystar has appointed Meinhardt UK alongside HTA Design (architects) and Alinea Consulting (Cost Consultants) to regenerate an area of industrial wasteland next to the Grand Union Canal that was formerly occupied by pharmaceutical giant GS...

At one level or another, we’re all excited about smarter, more autonomous cars. Some of us want completely autonomous vehicles right now; others just want their cars do take over the drudge work, especially in traffic or cities on the daily commute. It’s coming. Expanding innovations in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving are transforming the way we drive our cars and, frankly, how we think about buying ne...

Let’s combine the ideas, robots that build other robots, machines that learn from their mistakes, energy systems that manage themselves, and involve a large amount of people and we have this year’s HANNOVER MESSE.It maybe the age of Industry 4.0 and ubiquitous digitalisation, but humans are now more central to the innovations on show at the world’s leading industrial technology fair than they have ever been before.
