High power wireless charging for autonomous robots is an essential component in Industry 4.0 and the promise is being realised today with solutions fromWiBotic. Partnering withGaN Systems, WiBotic is providing ready, off-the-shelf solutions integral to charging the rapidly growing robotics ecosystem to deliver the power levels and increased antenna range that both drones and robots demand.
Long range sensor designed for advanced mapping and surveying
Ceptonhasunveiled the newest product in its SORA family of scanning LiDAR sensors. Released at AUVSI Xponential 2019, the SORA-P60L is purpose-built to deliver long range, high resolution imaging for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
Cost-effective miniature industrial-grade inertial sensor units
The introduction of a generation of inertial motion sensors which hope to set a new standard in the market for their small size, industrial-grade performance and competitive pricing, have been announced by Xsens. The all-new MTi 600-series of inertial sensors, supplied in a 31.5x28.0x13.0mm IP51-rated case, produce roll and pitch readings accurate to ±0.2°.
What is the most profitable area of tech?
The technology buying-and-selling sector can yield impressive profits. Gaming and recreational tech have led for many years, with the likes of retro consoles and Polaroids dominating the cashback limelight. But with the increase in smart home technology, perhaps collectors’ interest could shift towards a new area of investment?
Highest current rated GaN power semiconductors at PCIM 2019
GaN Systemswill demonstrate the650V, 150A GaN power transistor- according to the company it is the industry’s highest current 650V GaN power transistor-atPCIM Europein Nuremberg, Germany on 7th-9th May, 2019 at Booth 9-507. TheGS-065-150device has 100 times lower switching losses than comparable IGBTs - that’s two orders of magnitude less, a 99% reduction in switching losses.
IoT standards: the end game
Here, Cees Links, General Manager of the Wireless Connectivity Business Unit at Qorvo, shares his insights on IoT standards and the future of IoT. Quite regularly I get the question: with all these standards around, what should I choose? Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth Mesh, or WiFi? Or maybe LoRa? Or is it better to wait for 5G and NB-IoT?
What is the future for drones?
Drones are an effective commercial tool with applications in many sectors, especially, construction. There are many benefits using drones, which range from on-site safety to a level of project monitoring which wasn’t previously possible.The drones market is set to be worth billions over the coming years, the infographic below provides an insight into the future of drones.
Enabling rogue transmissions to be pinpointed quickly
Link Microtek has introduced its new automatic direction-finding (DF) antenna that allows the source of unauthorised or interfering transmissions to be located rapidly and accurately, even in urban areas where signal reflections can make this a challenging task.
Paving the way for power management
As our world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, the demand for power will only continue to increase. Following a vibrant APEC 2019, held in California in March, Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush caught up with Anoop Chadaga, Product Marketing Manager, Texas Instruments, to find out what the company’s focus was at the show.
Helping Collins Aerospace future-proof avionics systems
Future airspace will be filled with drones, commercial aircraft, helicopters, and more. Several prototypes are currently targeting urban air mobility solutions such as air taxis, or revolutionary aircraft models, such as next-generation commercial supersonic aircraft. Add to this autonomous swarm technologies, such as manned-unmanned teaming, and systems for future vertical lift and it’s clear that the technology wave coming to any aerospac...
