Steve Rogerson found that this year’s electronica saw IoT hype give way to reality.

In recent years, computers have gotten remarkably good at recognising speech and images: Think of the dictation software on most cellphones, or the algorithms that automatically identify people in photos posted to Facebook.But recognition of natural sounds — such as crowds cheering or waves crashing — has lagged behind.

The Dyn Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that occurred in the late weeks of October this year have shaken the world at its very foundation - it's virtual foundation, that is. The attack was carried out largely using connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Author:Andrew Heikkila

Xilinx launched the Embedded Vision DeveloperZone for software, hardware, and system developers to accelerate their productivity and build All Programmable, differentiated Embedded Vision applications. Through the Embedded Vision DeveloperZone, Xilinx is providing a one-stop location to jump start the development of next-generation vision systems employing sensor fusion, advanced computer vision algorithms, and real-time object detection and anal...

Navigating a city without public transport is almost impossible. Under the strain of increasing urban populations and growing pressure to reduce pollution in metropolitan areas, public transport is constantly adapting. But is it changing fast enough? Jonathan Wilkins, Marketing Director, EU Automation discussed the potential benefits of automation for public transport.

A robot can now record the amount of books and goods in the Library of the Max-Planck-Institute in Luxembourg, for the first time.MetraLabs proves that their RFID inventory robot TORY can be used in various inventory applications.

A Rubik’s Cube was solved in just 637 thousandths of a second at this year's electronica. The 'Sub1 Reloaded' machinepulled off the feat with the help of microchips from Infineon. The microcontroller AURIX also contributed to the record-breaking effort: it is one of the essential elements that enable autonomous driving.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will use distributed sensors to build more intelligence into the world around us. By sensing chemicals, moisture, temperature and other environmental variables, IoT systems will be able to tune conditions inside buildings to be more comfortable, make factories more productive, and enable distribution to be more effective by keeping the goods under optimum conditions at all times. Simon Duggleby, Technical Marketing Ma...

Showing exhibitors its portfolio including profiler equipment and software tools, SolderStar will be at IPC Apex in San Diego from 14th–16th February.With over a decade of specialising in the design, development and manufacture of thermal profiling equipment for the lead-free electronics industry, SolderStar will introduce its newest internet based technology, SMARTLine, which enables ‘big data’ capture from reflow ovens for int...

Whether it’s called the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0, the sensing, communication and analysis of data toward improving processes and outcomes is transforming industries from manufacturing and healthcare to transportation, fleet management, mining and agriculture.
