embedded world, taking place in the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre from 23rd-25th February 2016, will once again be supporting the efficiency and innovative strength of the global embedded industry. The central objectives of the conferences are to provide specifically targeted knowledge, to highlight trends and current themes, to offer a glimpse into the future and to facilitate a dialogue between experts. Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush takes ...

In recent years, some of the most exciting advances in AI have come courtesy of convolutional neural networks, large virtual networks of simple information-processing units, which are loosely modelled on the anatomy of the human brain. Neural networks are typically implemented using GPUs, special-purpose graphics chips found in all computing devices with screens.

Green technologies will take centre stage at this year’s IDTechEx Show, taking place in Berlin from 27th-28th April. Among these will be electric vehicles, which will have a major emphasis at the session ‘Electric Vehicles: Everything is Changing’. Speakers and exhibitors from companies including Toyota, Daimler, Tesla, Siemens and IBM will showcase how mechanical, electric and electronic parts are completely changing and often ...

Meet Hedgehog, who could become our guide to exploring the small bodies such as asteroids and comets whirling about the solar system. Designed by Stanford’s Marco Pavone, assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics, and Ben Hockman, graduate student in mechanical engineering, this space rover has no wheels for rolling, no arms for grabbing and no legs for stepping. By Ian Chipman

The automotive industry was a key focus at January’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, and a major part of that was the development of autonomous car technology.Many of the major automotive manufacturers, including Audi, Aston Martin and BMW, launched concepts around connected and driverless cars at the event.

Today’s modern technology must be equipped to withstand extremely harsh conditions found deep in the ocean, including high pressure and high oxidation levels. maxon motor has worked closely with research institutes and universities to provide solutions that meet the many demanding challenges for electrical and mechanical components required for underwater systems.

Renesas Electronics has announced the development of hardware fault detection and prediction technologies for functional safety in automotive computing systems. The company has also successfully developed a prototype of an automotive computing SoC fabricated in a 16nm FinFET process supporting the ISO 26262 ASIL B standard for automotive functional safety.

Haier Group and General Electric have announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to cooperate globally and jointly pursue growth projects in focus areas where both companies can increase business competitiveness such as Industrial Internet, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. This strategic cooperation framework agreement brings together two highly complementary world-class enterprises and establishes a model for cross-border investment an...

Designed for automotive computing SoCs used in autonomous vehicles of the future, Renesas has announced the development of a video processing circuit block.The circuit block handles processing of vehicle camera video with 70ms latency,processing video in real time on large volumes of data with 197mW power consumption and without imposing any additional load on the CPU and GPU, which are responsible for autonomous vehicle control.

Everyday materials from the kitchen drawer, such as aluminum foil, sticky note paper, sponges and tape, have been used by a team of electrical engineers from KAUST to develop a low-cost sensor that can detect external stimuli, including touch, pressure, temperature, acidity and humidity.
