The future of technology innovations bought to the market
On its 15th birthday, electronica China closed successfully, breaking records across the board and providing unparalleled opportunities for companies big and small to launch innovations to the Asian market. 1,088 exhibitors from 31 countries showcased at both trade fairs—electronica China and productronica China—their latest technologies across 62,000 square meters of exhibition space this week.
Robotics IT platform developed for customer services
Hitachi has announced the development of 'EMIEW3', a humanoid robot, and its 'remote brain' robotics IT platform. EMIEW3, capable of autonomously approaching customers requiring assistance, was developed to provide necessary services and guidance in stores and public facilities.
Collaboration to enable network-connected autonomous vehicles
Integrated Device Technology (IDT) have announced the launch of what is planned to be a multi-year collaboration with 5G Lab Germany on research related to 5G tactile networks, including the application of IDT technology to enable network-connected autonomous vehicles.
IMechE Director of Engineering responds to the 2016 Budget
Following Chancellor George Osborne's 2016 budget speech. Dr Colin Brown, Director of Engineering at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), has responded:
Budget announces 5G strategy for 2017
Wednesday’s budget saw a number of announcements that were welcomed by the UK technology sector – particularly in the areas of autonomous vehicles and 5G.George Osborne’s announcement committed the UK to delivering a 5G strategy next year and delivering a ‘big data hub’ for the Office for National Statistics, as well as plans to relax regulations surrounding connected cars.
Battery-less computers can be reprogrammed wirelessly
Computation RFID is a small device which converts ambient energy (from nearby radio transmissions) to communicate and obtain power for computing. Their size and perpetual lifetime allows them to be embedded in anything, living organisms included, once for the entire lifetime. And now, for the first time, a team of researchers from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft, The Netherlands) and University of Washington demonstrated that battery-les...
Development of a wall-climbing drone
A new wall-climbing drone can approach any type of structure by flying and sticking to the target and utitlising a pose change and perching mechanism. The integrity of large structures like bridges, high-rise buildings, wind turbines, and large aircrafts is deeply related with security. Nowadays, due to the aging of large structures and the potential concerns about their collapse, interest in structural health monitoring has risen all over the wo...
Ransomware on the rise
As far back as 2011 hackers were attempting to write software viruses that could be transmitted from car to car. Nowadays, with autonomous cars fast becoming a reality, the threat of a system hack is increasing equally rapidly – with electronic components now making up over 50% of the total manufacturing cost of a car – thus increasing the risk.
Field swappable underwater storage unit for an AUV
The Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), an executive body of NATO’s Science and Technology Organisation (STO), is an established, world-class scientific facility that organises and conducts research and technology development centred on the maritime domain, delivering innovative and field tested Science & Technology (S&T) solutions to address defence and security needs of the Alliance.
Embedded server option allows digitisers to run remotely
The acquisition and analysis of electronic signals in remote locations has become easy thanks to the release of a new option for Spectrum's Ethernet-based digitiser products. The Embedded Server option, DN2.xxx-Emb, can be ordered with any of the company's digitizerNETBOX series of LXI instruments. It effectively turns them into PC-based data acquisition units that can operate independently or, when connected to a LAN, as parts of a larger system...
