The IWR1843 device from Texas Instruments is an integrated single-chip mmWave sensor based on FMCW radar technology capable of operating in the 76 to 81GHz band with up to 4-GHz continuous chirp. The device is built with the low-power 45nm RFCMOS process from Texas Instruments. This solution enables high levels of integration in an extremely small form factor.

Just how dependent unmanned flying is on high-quality and functioning printed circuit boards, components and solder joints is shown by flying in enclosed spaces. “Many UAS are equipped with standard components. But flying in enclosed spaces also requires good communication and navigation transmission as well as powerful, dimmable, small headlights," said Jörg Nolte, Product Manager Soldering Tools, Rework and Inspection Systems at Ersa...

How are the ethics of artificial intelligence shaping our world? Can these ‘thinking machines’ be taught to be more human? Is it safe to use AI in automated diagnosis in medicine? And what are the ethical considerations of these developments?

At this year’s embedded world, Infineon Technologies has announced that it will present easy-to-integrate technology for smart mobility, smart industry and smart lifestyle. Focussing on holistic system solutions, the Infineon booth will feature applications for automated driving and in-vehicle health monitoring, wireless charging, multicopters and drones as well as automotive and industrial gateways.

Researchers at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden have conducted the country´s first aerial food delivery. The flight was autonomous and beyond line of sight. The drone flew from a restaurant on the outskirts of Linköping city and into Linköping University.

QuickBuild RF, a partnership between Amphenol RF and Amphenol Custom Cable, have announced the introduction of FAKRA connectors into its robust portfolio. FAKRA connectors are the latest addition to the continuously expanding connector offerings contained within the custom RF cable configurator which launched earlier this year.

Here come previously impossible devices and structures. The new IDTechEx report, ‘Smart Material Opportunities in Structural Electronics 2020-2030’ has analysed and forecasted a remarkable $200bn materials opportunity by making dumb structures smart. Save weight, space and cost. Eliminate maintenance.

Swift Technical, the services division of Airswift, the global workforce solutions provider for the energy, process and infrastructure sectors, has announced a partnership with Drone Pilot. Austin-based Drone Pilot provides both outsourced and insourced unmanned air, ground, and maritime robotics services to the oil and gas industry.

Last mile delivery is the most expensive part of the delivery chain, often representing more than 50% of the overall cost. This is mainly because it is the least productive and automated step. As such, many are seeking to bring automation into the last mile. In recent years, many companies around the world have been innovating to utilise autonomous mobile robots, drones, and autonomous vehicle technology. By:Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Research Dire...

FLIR Systems has published a new application spotlight that highlights the role its Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras are playing in detecting gas leaks from oil and gas pipelines. Oil and gas pipelines often stretch long distances, carrying a variety of materials. Sometimes the pipes fail, resulting in liquid leaks or fugitive emissions of gas releasing into the environment.
