National Instruments has announced the Vision Specialty for NI Alliance Partner Network members who specialise in imaging and vision systems. The Vision Specialty includes NI Alliance Partners with experience in a range of industries, including consumer goods, food and beverage, pharmaceutics, robotics, electronics, automotive, semiconductor and medical imaging.

National Instruments has announced a suite of prototyping hardware that makes it possible for engineers and scientists to prototype industrial and embedded projects faster, reduce time to market and lower development costs. The five new NI CompactRIO reconfigurable chassis feature a Xilinx Virtex-5 field-programmable gate array (FPGA), the largest and fastest FPGA available today in NI hardware. Additionally, the new NI cRIO-9022 controller featu...

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a nonprofit organisation inspiring young people to be science and technology leaders, has selected the National Instruments CompactRIO embedded control platform as its next-generation FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) robot controller. With this platform, high school students will create advanced robots starting in the 2009 FIRST season. Students can program their robots based on C...

National Instruments has announced plans for NIWeek, the world’s leading graphical system design conference and exhibition that attracts more than 3,300 engineers, scientists and members of the academic community. NIWeek 2010, the company’s 16th annual technology conference, opens Aug. 3 at the Austin Convention Centre in Austin, Texas, for three days filled with targeted summits and tracks, technical sessions, interactive demonstrations and ...

Inspiring the engineering leaders of tomorrow, Texas Instruments Incorporated today announced it has once again joined forces with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) as a Crown Supplier of the FIRST Robotics Competition. TI provides innovative technology and support to excite students about studying science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects and to inspire them to pursue careers in engineering.

Texas Instruments announced a new “Tool Swap” program to give developers a chance to get rid of underperforming microcontroller (MCU) tools from competitors and make the switch to TI’s leading solutions. The program is sponsored by Digi-Key Corporation and will take place on May 3 – 5 at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), Silicon Valley in San Jose, Calif. Each day of the program, the first 100 developers to bring a used competitiv...

Developing higher performance autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) that are smaller and less complex, Team SONIA, comprised of students from the École de technologie supérieure (ETS) in Quebec, Canada, have integrated Texas Instruments Incorporated’s TMS320F28x digital signal controller (DSC) technology into their new vehicle, which will compete in the 10th International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition in San Diego, ...

Texas Instruments has announced what it says is the industry's first floating point digital signal controllers. The new TMS320F2833x devices provide 300 million floating point instructions per second (MFLOPS) performance at 150 MHz while providing the lower costs typically associated with fixed point processors. Simplified software development common to floating-point processors and the performance boost allows solar power inverters to more effic...

National Instruments has announced that Dr. David Barrett, Director of the Senior Consulting Program for Engineering (SCOPE) and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Olin College, will deliver the closing keynote address at NIWeek 2009, the world’s largest graphical system design conference and exhibition scheduled for Aug. 4–6 in Austin, Texas. Dr. Barrett will share his insights on how robotics in industry and engineering educat...
