CAN bus IMU improves autonomous car safety
ACEINNA has announced the availability of a new whitepaper for engineers involved in developing autonomous car navigation, safety and communication systems. This new whitepaper explains WHY and HOW to integrate Inertial Measurement Unit sensor technology with CAN communications in a variety of vehicle types and classes.
Software designed to utilise hardware accelerators in R-Car V3H
Renesas Electronicscontinues to accelerate the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) systems with a new Perception Quick Start Software based on its R-Car V3H System-on-Chip (SoC). The solution delivers reference software for Camera Obstacle Detection (COD), LiDAR Obstacle Detection (LOD), and Road Feature Detection (RFD) - three key recognition areas for sensor-based Level 2+ autonomous vehicle systems.
Highly sensitive SPAD devices based on modular process technology
X-FAB Silicon Foundries continues to develop semiconductor solutions to address the most difficult of design challenges. It has now announced the availability of Avalanche Photodiode (APD) and Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) products for implementation in scenarios where there are extremely low light conditions to contend with and augmented sensitivity is required, as well as tight timing resolutions involved.
Solving the automotive low visibility challenge
The Israeli startup whose innovative Short-Wave-Infra-Red (SWIR) sensing technology is able to see in adverse weather and night-time conditions, TriEye, has announced a $17m Series A funding round, led by Intel Capital. Other investors include Marius Nacht, Co-Founder of Check Point Software Technologies, and TriEye’s existing investor Grove Ventures, headed by TriEye chairman Dov Moran, the inventor of the USB flash drive and co-founder of...
SiPM sensors: Gen3 LiDAR system demo
Gen3 is a unique tool from ON Semiconductor that is used with customers to show the advantages of silicon photo multipliers when used in a LiDAR system.
Taipei gears up
Steve Rogerson reports from Taipei on how the country is responding to the moves towards autonomous driving.Taiwan has no major car makers, but the high technology island sees the moves towards autonomous driving and connected transportation as an opportunity that it cannot miss. As such, it is applying the skills it has learned over decades in other electronics sectors to the automotive world in a big way.
Family of high-power single-mode diode lasers
It has been announced that LASER COMPONENTS is distributing a new family of high-power, single-mode laser diodes by Sheaumann Laser in three millimetre (C3), four millimetre (C4), and six millimetre (C6) chip-on-submount lengths. The C6 provides up to 650mW average output power at 1064nm. The 980nm C3 and 785nm C4 reach an average of 500mW and 450mW, respectively.
PCIM Europe – where power is at the core of innovation
This year’s PCIM Europe was attended by a record number of visitors, over 12,000. Over half (54%) were from outside Germany. They came to see over 500 exhibitors and while the subject matter was diverse and wide-ranging, there were some themes that emerged. GaN and SiC jostled for attention at this year’s PCIM Europe, writes Caroline Hayes, alongside current sensor developments designed to accelerate adoption rates for electric vehicl...
Position and proximity sensors for industrial robots
When designing a robot it is important to choose the correct sensors to enable it to be aware of its environment and perform the tasks required.
Overcoming IoT latency, security and scalability issues
The Hardware Pioneers’ gatherings are becoming a vital knowledge source for those involved in Internet of Things (IoT) endeavours. Their latest seminar, hosted in Central London in May, was entitled ‘Building Smarter IoT Products at the Edge’. By Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics
