National Instruments today announced LabVIEW Robotics 2009, a new version of its graphical system design software that provides a standard development platform for designing robotic and autonomous control systems. NI LabVIEW Robotics 2009 delivers an extensive robotics library with connectivity to standard robotic sensors and actuators, foundational algorithms for intelligent operations and perception and motion functions for robots and autonomou...

Join NI throughout the month of August to explore the world of NI LabVIEW and the graphical system design approach, through the Summer of LabVIEW webcasts. Beginning with a Keynote presentation from the “Father of LabVIEW” Jeff Kodosky, the series of 16 interactive webcasts will highlight how LabVIEW speeds the development of any measurement or control system.

Texas Instruments has become the first partner to achieve the Netflix Silicon Reference Implementation (SRI) certification for the Netflix HD application on Android. TI’s OMAP 4 platform, complete with M-Shield™ security technology, met the Netflix requirements for mobile content streaming, including the ability to run up to full high-definition (HD) 1080p video within strict security measures. This milestone reflects the strength of TI’s M...

National Instruments today introduced LabVIEW Education Edition, a high school-focused version of its industry-standard LabVIEW graphical programming software. The new edition is designed to help educators implement project-based, hands-on learning for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects. The software was developed in collaboration with the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO), a leader in in...

STMicroelectronics, has introduced a new motion sensor providing accurate measurements of vehicle movement for systems such as adaptive front lights, auto-levelling HID (high-intensity discharge) lamps, inertial brake lights, e-parking brake, advanced anti-theft systems and control of vehicle dynamics.

Delivering a fun platform for learning and evaluating real-time software and Stellaris microcontrollers (MCUs), Texas Instruments today announced the availability of its new Robotic Evaluation Board (EVALBOT) for use with Micrium’s µC/OS-III. The evaluation kit is a mini robot that allows developers to experience the Stellaris ARM® Cortex™-M3-based LM3S9B92 MCU in real-world applications that leverage the processor’s i...

TI has introduced a pair of ±10V, 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADC) with excellent measurement repeatability and high resolution. Both the ADS8519 and ADS8513 combine a low-power successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with sample and hold, clock, reference and a serial data interface. The devices’ high integration enables design in industrial process control, DSP servo control, robotics, test equipment, portable data acq...

The new FPX3-869-20 transceiver is the first in a family of powerful, high data rate transceivers from Radiometrix. This versatile radio module makes use of the pan-European high power 869.4-869.65MHz allocation to offer half-watt RF power output in a small (67 x 30 x 12mm) footprint. Combined with its sensitive (-115dBm) high specification (80dB blocking) receiver circuits this adds up to an adaptable data link device capable of achieving a rang...

Renesas announced today for its RL78 microcontroller family new compiler support from IAR Systems, as well as real-time operating systems (RTOS) from Micrium and CMX Systems.

Fairchild Semiconductor has been named the overall winner of the Power Systems Design Europe (PSDE) magazine 2nd annual, prestigious GreenPower Leadership Awards competition. Fairchild's article titled Solar Power Shines by Alfred Hesener was announced the overall winner at Power Conversion Intelligent Motion (PCIM) Europe Exhibition & Conference. The monetary award for this article will be donated to the Institute of Robotics at the University o...
