A bee can travel over five miles and then remember its way home, despite possessing a brain the size of a pinhead. Scientists have been putting them in virtual reality simulators to help improve Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or drone technology. While the honey bee currently has the edge, drone technology is catching up. Here, Chris Johnson, Managing Director atSMB Bearings, explains the potential value of drones for maintenance inspection of oil...

igus has released a cost effective, lightweight, plug & play gearbox kit consisting of gearbox, encoder, controller, force control system and motor for collaborative robotics.The potential for service robotics is growing fast: in hospitality, medical care, agriculture and logistics, lightweight robots help to automate monotonous tasks. To show that using service robots can be easy and low cost, igus will present a modular, configurable gearbo...

EPC has announced the introduction of an eToF laser driver that integrates a 40V, 10A FET with a gate driver and low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) logic level input in a single chip fortime-of-flight lidarsystems used in robotics, drones, augmented reality, and gaming applications.

In 2017, after four years of setbacks and crashes, Alphabet shut its project flying solar-powered fixed-wing drones in the upper atmosphere to beam the internet to those cut-off. Facebook then exited its similar project, but the Chinese aerospace industry, Airbus, Boeing, and NASA are progressing them very well.

6G Communications will become one of the largest technology investments. It is currently in the healthy first stage and is promising to widely deploy by around 2030. Meanwhile, 5G to ‘Beyond 5G’ awaits.

TDK has announced the introduction of 20A 300W rated models to the TDK Lambda brand i7C series of non-isolated DC/DC converters. The output voltage of these latest step-up and step-down converters is adjustable from eight to 24V, and they are optimised to operate from a wide range input voltage of nine to 36V. The converters transition from buck to boost mode operation without disruption in performance.
