By Dr Yvonne Heubner, a transport expert and part of the Newcastle University team responsible for taking forward the Science Central project. Cities are growing rapidly. According to UN estimates, the world’s urban population grows by two people every second, 7,200 every hour. This means that within two decades, nearly 60% of the world’s population will be city dwellers. In Europe, this figure is already higher; four out of five peo...

Swissbit has introduced the S-450 and S-450μ series SD and Micro SD memory cards, delivering top performance for demanding applications while maintaining high reliability and robustness. By combining SLC flash components with a powerful system architecture and intelligent firmware, Swissbit has been able to produce what it terms one of its best high performance, high reliability industrial SD memory card solutions.

congatec has added to its COM Express Basic portfolio, announcing the conga-TS97 computer module with Intel Core/Xeon processors manufactured in 14nm technology. The conga-TS97 COM Express Basic module in the Intel Xeon version delivers server-grade performance for the first time and, compared to its predecessors, excels in terms of graphics due to the featured Intel Iris Pro technology.

While the field of robotics may have recently been labelled the 'fastest growing industry in the world', robots themselves continue to be associated with the unpredictable, triggering extreme emotions amongst the general population. By Simon Holt, Marketing Manager, element14.

With the publication of the Call for Papers, the organisers of the 2016 embedded world and electronic displays conferences have initiated the submission phase and given the green light for the 2016 event. Once again, the two conferences will explore the hot topics in embedded systems and displays and provide a high-calibre thematic accompaniment to the exhibition.

Expanding its growing portfolio of 8-bit PIC MCUs, Microchip has announced two families with Core-Independent Peripherals (CIPs) which combine to perform functions autonomously, without the core. This allows the 8-bit devices to be used in a broader range of applications, such as LED lighting, motor control, wearables, consumer electronics, IoT and safety-critical systems.

Researchers at the University of Leeds are taking part in a project to develop ways to wirelessly “beam” power into robots and other digital systems. The £1m SWIFT project is the first collaborative UK effort to develop systems that can simultaneously transfer information and power across wireless networks.

The UK’s ability to develop and exploit the vast potential of Robotics and Autonomous Systems was given a major boost with the formal launch of The EPSRC UK Robotics and Autonomous Systems Network (UK-RAS Network). The Network will bring together the UK’s core academic capabilities in robotics innovation under national coordination for the first time and encourage academic and industry collaborations that will accelerate the developme...
