The use of robots should trump that of astronauts when it comes to government funded space travel, suggests Lord Rees (OM, FRS, HonFREng, FMedSci, FRAS, HonFInstP), the cosmologist and astrophysicist. The UK’s Astronomer Royal – his official title – has said government funding should no longer be used to send people into space. Talking in the context of space exploration ...
There's space laser communications, FD-SOI/ePCM 32bit MCUs from ST, an AI vision and real-time control MCU for industrial robots and machinery, and Imec's nanowell FET design...
The most important aspect to consider in time-of-flight technology is the drastic change in embedded vision technology, says Maharajan Veerabahu. From the 1970s when it was first theorised to its status today, the leaps in technology have blazed a new era in advanced imaging for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The most common uses of the AMRs are in industrial warehouses, ...
DigiKey is launching Series 3 of a video sequence entitled ‘Farm Different’, which explores agri-tech. The series features three episodes that look into the future of farming to determine what innovations will power the next generation of global food production. For example, how robotics and autonomous vehicles are coming to the farm and also the integral data necessary to maximize ...
Pictured is a Lunar Communications Tower. Constructed by robots, investigating ways to establish a robust communications infrastructure on the moon by the late 2020’s.
Renesas has developed an AI accelerator for real-time processing of algorithms in robots, and described it at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco. This accelerator appeared in a product a month later The foreseen robot needs conventional processing for planning and control, alongside AI processing at ~100Top/s peak for vision-based environmental recognition, with low power dissipation to avoid ...
Spot the robotic dog has been spotted again - working at Simmering, Austria's larger power station, for Wien Energie.
Sunday 11 February is 2024’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science. 2024 is the ninth year of the UN event to promote “full and equal access” to STEM for women. The competition is part of the FIRST Robotics Competition and was won by a team from Malta which developed a robot that removed CO2 from the air using ...
