Renesas Electronics and TTTech Computertechnik are collaborating on the development of a new automotive platform solution, aimed at providing a future proof, high-performance advanced ECU development platform for ADAS. The automotive platform solution will integrate Renesas’ automotive control MCU, the RH850/P1x, and high-performance R-Car SoCs with TTTech’s TTIntegration software platform to enable highly complex automotive solutions...

The remote nature of drones means that their rise to prominence has coincided with an increase in security risks. Thieves, spies, smugglers and terrorists are now able to pilot their drones over perimeter walls and into properties not visible from public roads – and all this from a relatively safe and risk-free distance for the criminal.

Damage developing in a material can be difficult to see until something breaks or fails. A new polymer damage indication system automatically highlights areas that are cracked, scratched or stressed, allowing engineers to address problem areas before they become more problematic.

Renesas Electronics has unveiled the third generation R-Car, an automotive computing platform solution for driving safety support systems and in-vehicle infotainment systems. The new R-Car H3 System-on-Chip (SoC), the first member of the third generation R-Car, delivers CPU performance, image recognition processing, ISO 26262 (ASIL-B) compliance, and a system in package (SiP) with external memory to enable a range of automotive applications.

A new report by a London-based think tank has warned that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones, could potentially be utilised by terrorist groups as simple and effective airborne explosive devices, and as such has stressed that a number of measures should be introduced to mitigate that risk.

In January 2015, a Washington, DC, hobbiest accidentally flew his DJI Phantom quadcopter drone over the White House fence and crashed it on the lawn. Two years earlier, a prankster sent his drone toward German prime minister Angela Merkel during a campaign rally.

Microelectronics is the key to a better future and has become an indispensable part of our lives – today and even more tomorrow. At the upcoming CES 2016, Infineon Technologies will highlight chip technologies and system solutions for use across multiple categories of the consumer electronics industry.

California ‘s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV’s) insistence that driverless cars must have a fully licensed driver behind the wheel has left Google perplexed. DMV’s draft regulations released this week state that truly driverless cars would be ‘initially excluded’ from operation.

The world’s pioneering researchers in robotic surgery are invited to showcase their innovative work by taking part in the Surgical Robot Challenge 2016. The Surgical Robot Challenge is open for entry from today, and the competition finals will be held from 20th to 27th June 2016 at the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics in London, as part of the first ever UK Robotics Week.

Looking back at the past 10-15 years of the electronic instrumentation industry, it is certainly disappointing to realise that the market for new test equipment in 2015 is about the same size or less. What does this tell us and will the industry perform better in the future?
