Sensor integration machines boost SICK’s ‘Edge’ processing power
SICK has extended its Sensor Integration Machine (SIM) family with the launch of two high-performance, one-box, processing hubs that fuse decentralised, multi-sensor co-operation with field-to-cloud connectivity as part of Industry 4.0.SICK SIM1000 and SIM2000 Sensor Integration Machines are programmable sensor connection and data processing hubs that open up new possibilities to develop custom applications in SICK’s AppSpace ecosystem.
Computing in cars
Designing reliable hardware is challenging the automotive industry, says Jan Preibisch, application marketing manager, Nexperia
Are robot shuttles the next major form of transportation?
IDTechEx has issued an in-depth report called, ‘Robot Shuttles and Autonomous Buses 2020-2040’. Robot shuttles are an important new, reconfigurable form of transportation for goods and people that may even function as mobile offices, workshops, restaurants and more. It finds that the heart of the subject is upright, boxy, eight to 20 person vehicles that are symmetrical like a small train so they never do a U turn.
How close are we to autonomous cars?
In the past decade, progress continues in the development and deployment of autonomous driving technologies, as we see market leaders like Google’s Waymo have achieved the milestones in on-road testing of their self-driving fleets, and companies like Tesla announced ambitious plans to commercialise robotaxi services in geo-fenced areas by 2020.
Optical sensor potential in advanced driver-assisted systems
One of the key objectives of the automation space is the ability to sense the surrounding environment. The ability to view, among the various types of senses is paramount, including the capture and analysis of images and the subsequent calculation in the distances of objects, shape and motion recognition, and more.
Power GaN achieves its first milestone
Due to a reverse engineering and costing report performed by System Plus Consulting‘s team,GaN-on-Sapphire HEMT Power IC by Power Integrations, the power electronics industry discovered with surprise the use of GaN within an Anker’s wall charger.“Beyond Anker and its innovative GaN-based charger, we clearly see today a shift of the power electronics & compound semiconductor industry,”commented Ezgi Dogmus, Technology a...
Power electronics will be spurring tech innovation at CES 2020
During CES 2020,GaN Systemswill be exhibiting the latest technology innovations that are addressing energy efficiency challenges by using GaN as a building block for power electronics systems that are four times smaller, four times lighter, and generate four times less energy loss.
Duo combine for high-speed digital interface testing
Developments in advanced driver-assistance systems are creating a new approach to in-vehicle network architecture design. With today’s vehicles leveraging at least a hundred ECUs, the current network architecture has reached its limits.
Inspired by machine learning, ROS 2, Turtlebot3, and Rulex
One of the greatest challenges of a machine learning (ML) solution, is being able to explain why a trained model gave the output it did for a given input. One could track down the network of neurons that activated or the value of the discriminant function, but it would still be difficult to explain the decision to a human.

Automotive imaging radar using TI mmWave sensors
There is still some confusion in the industry about the different roles that three major sensor types - camera, radar and LIDAR - have in a vehicle, and how each can solve the sensing needs of ADAS and autonomous driving.
