Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the world’s smallest Single Chip Module (SCM) for the IoT. As the IoT requires more processing horsepower to be packed into ever smaller spaces, Freescale’s SCM line of products can integrate hundreds of components including processors, memory, power management and RF parts, which would otherwise be deployed on a 6" board, into a tiny 17x14x1.7mm package.

imec and Holst Centre have developed small NO2 sensors featuring a low power consumption in the mW range. Suitable for air quality monitoring, the sensors serve as a solution to the increased demand for accurate local air quality monitoring for indoor and outdoor environments. The sensors have a low detection limit for NO2 and a fast response time.

A paper outlining the role of digital road models in the virtual testing of autonomous vehicles will be presented at the Autonomous Vehicle Test and Development Symposium, Stuttgart, 16th to 18th June. rFactorpro’s Digital Road Modelling pipeline, recently voted Development Tool of the Year by Vehicle Dynamics International magazine, is enabling vehicle manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers to bring autonomous vehicles to the road sooner.

This year’s Science and Innovation Conference saw the launch of a new innovative company, Anangke Technology, which aspires to be the creative seat in corporations’ boardrooms. Anangke Technology, sister company to Assembled Electronics Solutions (AES), combines the design and development of electronics equipment into a fully integrated, streamlined and innovative process.

Seek N’Sneakis an Arduino Mega 2560 powered self-controlled robot which is able to find objects, pick them up and relocate them. The two driving wheels of this robot are powered by independently controlled motors and equipped with 128-steps-per-revolution encoders allowing for precise control of the angular position of the wheel, as well as its velocity and acceleration.

Twenty robotics teams, ranging from university students to small businesses, are currently taking part in NASA Sample Return Robot Challenge for a cash prize of $1.5m.

Innorobo 2015, the only event 100% dedicated to robotics, is scheduled to take place from 1st to 3rd July at Cité Internationale in Lyon, France.

Having achieved promising results in proof-of-concept prototyping and experimental testing, a soft robotic glove under development by soft wearable robotics expertConor Walsh, alongside a team of engineers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences(SEAS) andWyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineeringcould someday help people suffering from loss of hand motor control to regain some of their daily independenc...

Imagination Technologiesand TSMC have announced a collaboration to develop a series of advanced IP subsystems for the IOT, to accelerate time to market and simplify the design process for mutual customers. These IP platforms, complemented by highly optimised reference design flows, bring together the breadth of Imagination’s IP with TSMC’s advanced process technologies from 55 down to 10nm.

ALPS Electric will be exhibiting at the Sensors Expo & Conference to be held at the Long Beach Convention Center from 9th to 11th June, 2015. The Sensors Expo & Conference is the leading event in the United States focusing exclusively on sensors and sensor-integrated systems.
