  • Slimline swiveling-rotary modules for large workpieces

    These modules offer an efficient and space-saving solution for typical movement sequences that occur in handling and assembly technology, such as turning, swiveling, screwing, rolling or coiling.

  • CO2Meter multi-sensor safety alarm adds oxygen capabilities

    The oxygen sensing solutions are designed to meet safety standards for cold storage applications and more.

  • New IKO cam followers allow mounting freedom in tight spaces

    A unique mounting structure solves space limitations that often exist on the stud side of the assembly region.

  • This monocycle robot rolls, balances on 2 tiny legs

    The monocycle robot prototype can reportedly move entirely without a human, thereby potentially paving the way for the development of a driverless mode of transportation in future cities.

  • Video: Final flight for the Mars Ingenuity Helicopter

    The mission of the first aircraft to fly on another planet ended on January 18, 2024.

  • Non-intrusive load monitoring for smart homes

    Such monitoring makes it possible to track energy consumption without resorting to more intrusive measures that involve installing numerous sensors on individual appliances or devices.

  • Paving the way for sustainable AI innovations of the future

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is the transformative technology of our time. Here, we look at how Infineon enables, powers and uses AI for the benefit of all.

  • Underwater robot promises to autonomously reduce biofouling on ships

    The researchers suggest that ScrubMarine promises to cut fuel costs, reduce maintenance needs and minimize environmental impact for ships, boats and submarines.

  • Tiny earrings promise to track stress, periods and more

    Dubbed Thermal Earrings, the wireless wearable is designed to discretely monitor the health of the wearer.

  • Machine learning-based flaw detection during additive manufacturing

    A new method for analyzing and monitoring data collected during powder bed fusion 3D printing allows for detection of flaws and anomalies early in the build process.

  • What's the safest seat on a plane?

    Here's a hint: consider exit doors, impact zones and fuel storage.

  • Smith & Loveless Inc. highlights the EVERLAST series 4000 pump station

    The system lowers operating and maintenance costs and enhances operator safety compared to submersible wastewater pumps.

  • AGILOX North America to showcase their autonomous vehicles at MODEX Trade Show in Atlanta

    The company will exhibit its cutting-edge autonomous mobile robots, offering attendees a firsthand look at the future of material handling and logistics.

  • Eagle-inspired drone designed for surveillance missions

    Evolution Eagle is a covert surveillance platform intended for military needs and designed to look like an actual eagle in shape, size and even color.

  • High-bandwidth oscilloscope probes introduced by Keysight

    The InfiniiMax 4 series reportedly offers digital designers a turn-key probing solution for high-speed digital, semiconductor and wafer applications.

  • Why AI can't replace air traffic controllers

    It is when the conditions are at their worst — stuck landing gears, near misses, emergency landings — that human air traffic controllers’ contributions to safety are the greatest.
