Spiking neural network-based chip from Imec
Imec has presented a chip that processes radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network. The spiking neural network-based mimics the way groups of biological neurons operate to recognize temporal patterns, imec’s chip consumes 100 times less power than traditional implementations while featuring a tenfold reduction in latency – enabling almost instantaneous decision-making.
Bosch Sensortec and Qualcomm begin partnership
Bosch Sensortec has been developing innovative sensor software solutions in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, through their Qualcomm Platform Solutions Ecosystem program.
The portable power helping robotic superstars
When the word ‘robot’ is mentioned, most people conjure up images of bulky, flashing, tinfoil-covered machines from old sci-fi, like Lost in Space or Dr Who. Back then, little more than a man in a suit, metallic spray-paint and a ring-modulated audio track was enough to create a robotic superstar, but today’s world is filled with genuine robotic celebrities. Here, Robert Brown, Marketing Executive of Accutronics, has investigate...
2000km range Li-S batteries to enter industrial trials
Through nearly eight years of research, the Brighsun team has developed Li-S batteries (lithium-sulfur)with an energy density five to eight times higher than conventional secondary batteries.

The capabilities of ST Microelectronics’ FlightSense time-of-flight (ToF) ranging sensors has been extended with the VL53L3CX device.
Testing to meet the latest automotive Ethernet standards
Autopilot systems used to be for air, marine or spacecrafts — but today’s car drivers are increasingly relying on technologies to serve as ‘an extra pair of eyes and ears’ and help them stay safe on the road. Here, Martin Frederiksen, Managing Director at Recab UK, has explained why development tools for automotive Ethernet are ever more crucial to today’s driver safety systems.
DroneGun Tactical selected by EU police
DroneShield has announced that following a competitive tender, its DroneGun Tactical product was selected as the preferred solution by the European Union police forces. The process was run by Belgium Police, with an EU-wide framework. Sales, training and local support will be managed by DroneShield’s Benelux region partner ForcePro BV.
