Imagine a robot that quietly and discreetly enters your neighborhood, collects your refuse bin and empties it into the truck. It is done without waking the sleeping families and without heavy lifting for the truck’s driver. This is the purpose of ROAR, a joint project with the aim to develop tomorrow’s smart transport solutions.

Suitable for outdoor measurement applications, the Compact-Proof UHF radio data modem has been introduced by Satel. The device features an autonomous rechargeable battery power and a robust housing with IP67 protection.

Satel has announced its Satellar XT5 radio router, offering enhanced security due to encrypted data transmission in the private radio network. The radio router, with transmitting power of 5W, offers a good alternative to the use of cellular and fibre optics networks. With the “extended version” of the TCP/IP radio router Satellar, Satel now presents the long-awaited update of the legendary Satellar 2DS.

OMRON Corporation and Adept Technology, Inc announced that the two companies have entered into an agreement whereby OMRON will acquire Adept.

Students from the University of Science and Technology of Beijing have won the Grand Final of the Freescale Cup Challenge 2015, hosted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Erlangen. They prevailed and won the race after a fierce competition that brought together the winners from regional rounds around the globe.

LASER COMPONENTS is currently working on prototypes of a user kit for pyroelectric detectors and uncooled PbSe detectors, including suitable radiation sources. This autonomous development kit is based on a SBC, as well as emitter and receiver modules.

Throughout Europe 25,700 people were killed on the roads last year – an average of 70 traffic fatalities a day. Most of these accidents happened because the motorists weren’t paying attention. A system has been designed to assist the driver and significantly reduce the number of accidents. At the 2015 International Motor Show (IAA), Kostal presents a camera-based ADAS with know-how from Infineon.

In future, the digitisation of the car for drivers will not just start with Bluetooth interfaces for the smartphone or with autonomous driving, but as early as the visualisation, configuration and virtual purchase process. At this year’s IAA in Frankfurt, the Rocket Data Intelligence startup is presenting software for the first time which can generate virtual cars extremely rapidly and enable them to be experienced in 3D.

To solidify its strong position in solutions for the autonomous vehicles/ADAS market, Freescale Semiconductor has announced the acquisition of Ottawa-based CogniVue, a leading developer of image cognition IP for automotive and consumer applications.

SolderStar will preview their latest system at Productronica in Germany which utilises internet based technologies to enable ‘big data’ capture from reflow ovens for intelligent manufacturing requirements and the latest ‘Industry 4.0’ projects and trials.
