ADAS SoC becomes test and programming instrument
The VarioTAP technology for universal processor emulation to the R-Car V3M SoCs (System-on-Chip) from Renesas has been extended by GÖPEL electronic. This transforms the processor into a design-integrated test and programming instrument via the control of the debug port.
Delivering solid-state LiDAR systems for the automotive industry
ams has announced that it has signed an agreement to team with Ibeo Automotive Systems, the German specialist for automotive LiDAR sensor technology, and ZF Friedrichshafen, one of the largest technology companies for mobility worldwide to advance solid-state LiDAR technology for use in autonomous driving and other applications. The three companies will partner on joint R&D efforts to ensure that this technology can be quickly and safely adop...
LIDAR to serve future autonomous driving systems
With the future moving toward the commercialisation of autonomous cars, the technologies in this space are quickly advancing. Light detection and ranging (LIDAR), sometimes called laser detection and ranging (LADAR), time of flight (ToF), laser scanners or laser radar, is a sensing method that detects objects and maps their distances.
Radar sensor to make autonomous cars safer
Even as people hear about exciting developments regarding autonomous cars, many have lingering doubts about their safety. Videos of these vehicles show them manoeuvring around obstacles and dealing with other traffic without incidents, though. By Kayla Matthews
Laser-powered sensor to open up ‘anonymised’ security era
A sensor that uses an array of lasers to detect objects, people and vehicles could herald an era of anonymised surveillance that isolates threats from uninvolved people or objects.Cepton Technologies 3D Lidar detection system, theVista-EdgePerception Evaluation Kit (PEK), combines the unerring accuracy of lasers to scan the environment in much the same way a radar does, but at a much higher resolution, building an image of the world around it reg...
Avalanche photodiodes accelerated by internal electric field
In conventional PIN photodiodes, incoming photons create electron-hole pairs, also called charge carriers, which supply a measurable photocurrent. Avalanche photodiodes, APDs, differ from PIN detectors in that the charge carriers set free by the incoming light are accelerated by the internal electric field creating an avalanche of electron-hole pairs through impact ionisation.
Bringing advanced LiDAR to global autonomous vehicle developers
Cepton hasannounced a partnership with Dataspeed to bring Cepton’s high resolution, long range and compact LiDAR solutions to AV developers. Through the partnership with Cepton, Dataspeed’s customers will now have access to Cepton LiDAR technology for the development and deployment of autonomous applications.
How levels of autonomy are improving the driving experience
Texas Instruments' Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) experts are coming together to discuss what levels of autonomy they think are the most important to the coming years and the design considerations that come with them.
Scanning eye providing robot sight
Robots must be equipped with sensors and software for three-dimensional vision in order to gain a spatial understanding of and precisely control objects in their environment. A research team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) has been developing and manufacturing micro-scanner mirrors, ‘MEMS’ scanners, which provide robots an ability similar to human vision needed to perceive objects and perform demanding tas...
The future of autonomous vehicle camera safety systems
While the CoaXPress (CXP) standard is intended primarily for machine vision tasks, it is also well suited for imaging applications in other sectors where extreme high-speed data transmission from a camera to a PC is required.
