Artificial Intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of becoming an irreplaceable tool in a wide range of fields, such as working from home, avionics, telecommunications and defence. The latest frontier in this development is ruggedisation and miniaturisation. Here, Andy Conway, Sales Manager atembedded computing specialistRecab UK, has reflected on the unpredictability of the inventions that led to the breakthroughs behind AI.

Drones are the key technology of the coming two decades. They are used in many different aspects of industry, and commercial use of this technology has never been higher. In its new market research report, 'Drone Market and Industries 2021-2041', IDTechEx predicts that the drone market will reach over $22bn by 2041, attributed in part to this wide range of use cases. This article aims to provide you with an essential understanding and insight int...

u-blox has announced that it supplied the high-accuracy technology that made it possible to fly a large drone swarm. The reportedly record-breaking simultaneous flight of 2198 miniature UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) was launched into the night sky over Saint Petersburg, Russia, on September 3rd. The ten-minute long drone show included a flying dove with a wingspan of 600 meters, which was visible from three kilometers away.

Agriculture 4.0 is the latest revolution in agriculture, something that has been integral to the human way of life since the dawn of time, in one form or another. Agriculture 4.0 is the introduction of AI and smart machines into the agriculture the industry, and has grown to such an extent that is now the world’s third largest robotics market.

The Nordic countries are joining forces to drive the development of drone transports for both goods and passengers. The Nordic Drone Initiative (NDI) will pave the way for new sustainable business models. It can be about air-taxis, autonomous courier services or new tourist concepts.

Vicor has released its technology predictions for 2021, covering four areas: Automotive, High-Performance Computing, Aerospace & Defense and Robotics. Buried in the tumult of 2020 was a rapid acceleration in the speed of innovation. Nowhere was this more evident than in the record-breaking development of not one, but many, COVID-19 vaccines.

Now that embedded world 2021 has moved to the digital space, Infineon have decided to take full advantage of the virtual possibilities. Under the nameEmbedded Solutions Conference (ESC) 2021, Infineon has created an exclusive virtual booth at embedded world DIGITAL, for informative demos and presentations, inspiring expert talks, and virtual tours.

In military and defence applications, speed is crucial. Whether that is the response time of deployed soldiers or the speed at which information is communicated from the field to outposts or command centres. This is wheredeterministic Ethernet comes into play.

From the first successful Mars Rover mission in 1997, DC motors from maxon have been used in most successful robot missions to the Red Planet. Here Andrew Gibson, aerospace sales engineer at precision drives and motor specialists maxon UK, has discussed the secrets behind maxon’s success, and explores what it takes to make motors that can thrive in the challenging environment found on Mars.

Solar vehicles and boats are now mainstream, some never plugging in. The technology of the most advanced ones is being licensed to others, a robot shuttle being next up.
