At Embedded World Farnell element14 announced it is now shipping BeagleBone Blue, the latest offering based on the popular open source BeagleBonefrom the BeagleBoard.org Foundation, built specifically for use in the development of robotics and autonomous vehicles.

At Embedded World, Xilinx moved into a wide range of vision guided machine learning applications with the Xilinx reVISION stack. This announcement complements the recent Reconfigurable Acceleration Stack, significantly broadening the deployment of machine learning applications with Xilinx technology from the edge to the cloud.

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) has released a new case study with its customer Magna-Power. The Magna-Power application is a prime example of the value that is driving MiR’s tremendous growth to more than 200 mobile autonomous robots installed around the world in 2016, in environments from mid-sized, regional organisations through large global manufacturers.

Sound waves could be used to hack into critical sensors in a broad array of technologies including smartphones, automobiles, medical devices and the IoT, University of Michigan research shows.The work calls into question the longstanding computer science tenet that software can automatically trust hardware sensors, which feed autonomous systems with fundamental data they need to make decisions.

Silicon Labs has announced a major expansion of its Wireless Gecko SoC portfolio, making it easier for developers of all skill levels to add versatile multiprotocol switching capabilities to increasingly complex IoT applications. The EFR32xG12 SoCs support a broader range of multiprotocol, multiband use cases for home automation, connected lighting, wearables and industrial IoT.

A whitepaper entitled; Preparing machines and systems for connection to the Internet of Things (IoT), has been published by Eaton. The paper describes the basic points of Industry 4.0 architecture, such as horizontal and vertical integration, cyber physical systems and smart devices in simple terms.

Leonardo Da Vinci made one of the first attempts at humanoid robot design in 1495, when he developed the mechanical knight. The robot was designed to make several human-like motions, but it wasn't until the 1990s, when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) invented Kismet, the world’s first sociable robot, that the manufacturing industry took inspiration from humanoid robots to optimise productivity.

Rutronik is hosting a Speakers’ Corner on its stand at the Embedded World 2017 exhibition in Nuremberg (March 14-16). Embedded developers can find out at talks given by Renesas and Toshiba how they can optimally integrate the new technologies from these manufacturers in their designs.

Together,Apple and Alphabet haveset the agenda for integrating smartphones with vehicle entertainment systemsfor nearly three years, in the form of Apple’s CarPlay and Alphabet’s Android Auto. However one of the events from CES 2017 was the emergence of a consortium of automakers coming together to back SmartDeviceLink, a technology which could present a serious challenge to Apple and Alphabet for automotive smartphone integration.Sem...
