Leti, a technology research institute of CEA Tech, has announced a European project to develop a portable and wearable, multisensor and low-power spatial-exploration and obstacle-detection system for all conditions of weather and visibility.

Bats have long captured the imaginations of scientists and engineers with their unrivaled agility and maneuvering characteristics, achieved by functionally versatile dynamic wing conformations as well as more than forty active and passive joints on the wings. However, their wing flexibility and complex wing kinematics pose significant technological challenges for robot modelling, design, and control.

At embedded world 2017, Real-Time Innovations (RTI) will present its connectivity platform for real-time applications in the IIoT. The focus will be on the RTI Connext DDS middleware for smart distributed applications, its application in the field of autonomy as well as the security specification Connext DDS Secure. Connext DDS live demos can also be seen at partner booths.

The application of smart technology and data to help us travel around in an ever-more congested world shows that Seamless Mobility is the future.Helping people move intelligently, smoothly and hassle-free - on modes of transport that are economical and environmentally-friendly - is vital if transport systems are not going to simply implode.

The challenges in designing a multiple power supply multiply with each additional supply rail, says Nathan Enger, senior applications engineer, Linear Technology

Money doesn't grow on trees, but electricity might someday.Iowa State University scientists have built a device that mimics the branches and leaves of a cottonwood tree and generates electricity when its artificial leaves sway in the wind.

The optical technologies trade fair, SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, sensor specialist First Sensor and Velodyne LiDAR announced an expansion of their cooperation for Avalanche photodiodes (APD), which has been in place since 2005.The strategic supply cooperation has a volume in the millions over the next three years. Velodyne LiDAR uses Avalanche photodiodes (APD) from First Sensor in its entire product range of LiDAR scanners.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last decade, it is becoming apparent that robotic technology is getting more and more intelligent. Robots can alreadychoose the ripest tomatoandperform precision injections. However, they are not renowned for their delicate nature. Now, online grocer Ocado is testing a ‘soft’ robot hand that can pick fruit without damaging it.

With the continuously rising demands on mobility and autonomous driving, integrated and automated testing solutions are needed for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).The combination of ADAS sensor fusion with a Hardware in the Loop (HiL) testing system is necessary to enable a new level of innovative, automated testing solutions in the automotive space.

Easy-to-use hardware and software are the secret to successful IoT implementations, as Avner Goren, General Manager, Strategic Marketing, Embedded Processing, Texas Instruments (TI) explains here.
