The ability to permanently record temperature, humidity and pressure at various measuring points, in inaccessible locations and at operating temperatures from -20 °C to +125 °C, and monitor them globally via the cloud are all options offered with the MSR385WD data logger from MSR Electronics.

The race is on to develop smart cities of the future that are cleaner, greener, easier to navigate and better to live in. The prospect of living in a place where utilities, roads and even buildings work in harmony to make life easier, all while reducing environmental impact, may still seem farfetched, but it's quickly becoming a reality. Here Steve Hughes, managing director of REO UK considers the top three trends in power quality that are the ke...

Autonomous robots performing a joint task send each other continual updates: “I’ve passed through a door and am turning 90 degrees right.” “After advancing 2 feet I’ve encountered a wall. I’m turning 90 degrees right.” “After advancing 4 feet I’ve encountered a wall.” And so on.

With 5G looming large on the horizon, it’s an exciting time to be an RF engineer. As we embark on the road to 5G (the next generation wireless communications system), there are countless challenges and opportunities emerging for the engineering community.Thomas Cameron, CTO, Communications Infrastructure, Analog Devices explains more.

Organisers of the UK Device Developers' Conference have announced that two key themes of this year's event will be 'code safety' and 'device security', with both topics being the subjects of technical workshops and expert presentations. These will include an overview of the very latest developments in MISRA C, a programming language widely used for safety critical software and also an introduction to Time Triggered Architectures for safety critic...

Advances in artificial intelligence will soon lead to robots that are capable of nearly everything humans do, threatening tens of millions of jobs in the coming 30 years. "We are approaching a time when machines will be able to outperform humans at almost any task," said Moshe Vardi, director of the Institute for Information Technology at Rice University in Texas.

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a new, more computationally efficient way to process data from the GPS, to enhance location accuracy from the meter-level down to a few centimeters. The optimisation will be used in the development of autonomous vehicles, improved aviation and naval navigation systems, and precision technologies.

Our fear and disgust that cockroaches can quickly squeeze through the tiniest cracks are well-justified, say UC Berkeley scientists. Not only can they squish themselves to get into one-tenth-of-an-inch crevices, but once inside they can run at high speed even when flattened in half.

When I was a kid, my father used to take me to our local cinema once a week to see whatever movie was on at the time. One evening, we walked into the theater and I saw the poster for Terminator 2: Judgement Day; two hours later, I walked out of that screening completely blown away by what I had just seen.

Steve Rogerson looks at how the conference and exhibition at embedded world 2016 will face up to the increasing emphasis on security.
