"Say hello to your personal courier. I'm here to deliver anything you need. Just tell me what, when and where and I'll do the rest. Your tireless delivery bot will always be on hand to lighten your load.", says a next generation of delivery robots, developed by Starship Technologies. The robots are suitable for local, unscheduled deliveries of small orders.

To demonstrate how eGaN FETs can drive laser diodes to enhance LiDAR measuring systems used in vehicles for accuracy and processing speed, Efficient Power Conversion offers the EPC9126.

The urgent need for a new industrial paradigm to be created in Sweden is shown where not only environmental sustainability is safeguarded, but also new business models that secure long-term competitiveness.That is one of the key findings in the outlook report ‘The road ahead for Scandinavian industry’, published by Tieto and KTH.

The TDC7201 time-to-digital converter from Texas Instruments is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. The converter is designed for use with ultrasonic, laser, and radar range finding equipment using time-of-flight (TOF) technique. Laser-based TOF applications demand picosecond accuracy plus the ability to measure very short durations.

In today’s industry, features such as wireless connectivity and parking assist are considered standard, normal and are expected. However, let’s go back 50 years and it was a totally different story. There was much less technology of any kind in most vehicles.The three-point seatbelt didn't become standard until 1970 and airbags weren't mandatory until 1998.

The concerted efforts toward making AI technology capable of human-like cognitive behaviour such as learning, reasoning, problem solving, planning and self-correction have received a huge boost with advances in deep learning and neural networks. The technological complexities inherent in developing perceptions for machines, as well as the verification and validation of these tools, have been eased to a large extent by the advancements of AI techn...

Expanding and upgrading, the Printed Motor Works’ range of internal rotor, brushless DC motors, now offer improved performance.The compact IR range now contains larger bearings for driving heavier loads and improved sealing performance to IP68.

A broad and comprehensive ISO 26262 qualification programme has been introduced byMentor Graphics Corporation,Mentor Safe.The programme includes the Nucleus SafetyCert real time operating system, the Volcano VSTAR AUTOSAR operating system and BSW stack, and a growing array of ISO 26262 certified documentation and qualification reports for Mentor tools supporting design and verification of System-on-Chip (SoC), system, mechanical and thermal appli...

The future of autonomous driving is “made-in-Europe”. The European Agency for the global navigation satellite systems (GSA) has kicked-off ESCAPE, a three year and €5.4m project to exploit the services offered by Galileo, the European satellite navigation system, in the field of the automated driving.

As driverless cars merge into our transportation system in the coming years, some researchers believe autonomous vehicles may save fuel by trailing each other in large platoons. Like birds and fighter jets flying in formation, or bikers and race car drivers drafting in packs, vehicles experience less aerodynamic drag when they drive close together.But assembling a vehicle platoon to deliver packages between distribution centers, or to transport p...
