The availability of Nvidia’s Jetson Thor redefines what’s possible for humanoids and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) by fusing physical intelligence and real-time reasoning through robotics foundation ...

There is another analog compute-in-memory solution for math-heavy AI workloads, which is capacitor-based and achieves power efficiency above 40 TOPS/W. Analog AI accelerator startup EnCharge is ...

There is a lot of demand for the tiny speaker in smart glasses and smartwatches to be even smaller and lighter. However, the century-old micro-speakers built around a dynamic driver, coil, and ...

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors come to rescue indoor sensors, which often fail to detect and avoid barriers like plexiglass walls, translucent doors, and glass windows. Here is how ToF ...

3D sensing—now widely used in autonomous driving, AR/VR, healthcare, industrial automation, robotics, and surveillance—employs depth sensing as a major building block to facilitate real-time object ...

What’s the sensing aspect of quantum technology, and what potential it promises within the quantum computing domain? How can engineers create production-ready quantum sensing products? Where do ...

You are undoubtedly familiar with those rubbery membrane keypads, formally called elastomeric keypads, which are often used in low-end remote controls as well as other applications. They offer many ...

We’re all familiar with static electricity and its many “appearances.” It can be an annoying spark when you walk across a rug; allow you to stick a balloon against a wall after rubbing it across your ...

A new MEMS evaluation board promises to help engineers develop context-aware applications in a unified graphical environment. Developers can plug in a sensor module, connect to a PC, and start ...

The term smart sensor could mean different things to different people. One avenue binds smart sensors to the Internet of Things (IoT) sensing applications for collecting data and providing insight to ...

X-FAB, an analog/mixed-signal and specialty foundry, has launched a silicon carbide (SiC) process technology for power MOSFETs that delivers a significantly reduced cell pitch. That, in turn, enables ...

Trying to troubleshoot a fault or malfunction in many of today’s consumer-electronic devices is a challenge. For nearly all portable products and many non-portable ones, this is due to several reasons ...
