Who let the AirDogs out?
When people follow you around it can be a bit creepy, however not when it’s a drone. The AirDog is not about flying and following, it’s about getting the shot without taking anything away from what is most important, the action itself.A self-flying action sports drone, AirDog has been developed to follow you around and keep up with you as you perform all sorts of extreme sports.

Whether it be quality-monitored Industry 4.0 manufacturing, precise medical diagnostics, automated driving or resource-efficient agriculture, sensor and camera technologies are paving the way for the technologies of tomorrow. Leading companies will be represented at LASER World of PHOTONICS, from 26th-29thJune 2017 in Munich, to showcase their specialised products in all their diversity.
European project adapts obstacle detection technology
Leti, a technology research institute of CEA Tech, has announced a European project to develop a portable and wearable, multisensor and low-power spatial-exploration and obstacle-detection system for all conditions of weather and visibility.
Everything you need for autonomous driving
Over the next few years it is guaranteed that we will see more self-driving cars hitting the road, and therefore sophisticated communications systems will rely on a fast, reliable network that’s capable of being a data superhighway.Self-driving or autonomous cars are ahot topic, but the road to autonomous driving is curvy and complicated.
Automotive radar MCUs enable higher accuracy and safety
Renesas Electronics has announced its first RH850-based, 32-bit, automotive radar microcontroller (MCU) series. The RH850/V1R will deliver the high performance and features required for enabling future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving vehicles.
Demanding optical applications receive aspheric lenses
For a wide array of demanding optical applications Optical Surfaces has manufactured aspheric lenses, which involve beam focusing, collimation, expansion or wave front correction. Aspheric lenses provide a cost effective way of reducing the number of optical elements in a system.
Expandable SBC can be targeted to specific applications
An expandable Single Board Computer on a 3U (100x160mm) OpenVPX compatible board has been introduced byPanaTeQ. The VPX3-ZU1 owes its performance to the Zynq UltraScale+, Xilinx’s latest MultiProcessor SoC device built using 16nm technology.
Laser beam steering technology enables LIDAR systems
The acquisition of a solid-state laser beam steering technology from Vescent Photonics has been announced byAnalog Devices (ADI). Vescent’s non-mechanical beam steering technology enables more robust integrated LIDAR systems that overcome many of the major drawbacks associated with today’s bulky mechanical offerings such as reliability, size, and cost.
