  • New hub lets test and measurement users create multi-channel data acquisition systems

    Star-Hub enables users to connect up to eight of the company's M5i.33xx series PCI Express digitizers, thereby enabling separate cards to share common clock and trigger signals for minimal phase delay and timing skew across all the channels.

  • Siglent announces new high-res oscilloscope series

    The SDS7000A is based on an industry-standard architecture (ISA) x86 processor, with a 15.6 inch HD capacitive-touch screen to deliver improvements in the response speed and operation of the scope.

  • Underground autonomous robot system makes deliveries

    The company expects that the delivery of more than 95% of consumer products will now be low-cost, emission-free and congestion-less via the autonomous, underground delivery system.

  • BlastOne and Qlayers introduce mobile coating robots to the US oil and gas industry

    BlastOne International, a provider of surface preparation solutions, and Dutch firm Qlayers are jointly introducing the first-ever mobile coating robots, specifically designed for remote field projects in the oil and gas industry.

  • AI model predicts COVID-19 variant waves

    The researchers explained that the patterns revealed by the analysis were used to create the machine-learning powered risk assessment model.

  • Team develops 'electronic tongue' technology

    The electronic tongue features sensors and deep-learning technology for accurately measuring saltiness, sourness, bitterness and sweetness simultaneously.

  • Riegl introduces new laser scanning solutions for UAV-based data acquisition

    RIEGL’s typical accuracy/precision and the multi-target capability, in combination with its measurement ranges, wide field of views, extremely high laser pulse repetition rates and fastest line speeds are the basis for the users’ success.

  • Ingestible, vibrating device promises to prevent overeating

    The capsule is designed to vibrate once in the stomach, thereby activating the stretch receptors that sense when the stomach is distended, thus giving the imaginary sense of fullness.

  • Flood forecasting from orbit

    The approach relies on high-resolution large-scale particle image velocimetry video sensors placed aboard commercial satellites to track the dynamics of river flow and floods.

  • Fundamentals of solar-assisted ground source heat pumps

    As the world moves toward sustainable energy solutions, innovations in heating and cooling technologies are continuously improving.

  • New tech controls both single and fleets of battlefield vehicles

    The software system, dubbed SwarmCore, was developed in conjunction with Arqit, a quantum-safe encryption specialist.

  • How will the defense and security industry use ChatGPT?

    This follow-up feature will examine the impact ChatGPT is expected to have on the defense and security industry.

  • New Year's Eve ball drop engineering

    Exactly what feats of engineering go into the creation of this controlled descent and the circuitry that inhabits that big geodesic sphere of LED lights?

  • This octopus-inspired robotic arm can grasp different objects

    Through a series of tests, the team determined that the octopus-inspired robotic arm works well in both wet and dry environments.

  • A sensor for recognizing fine fabric textures

    Similar to a human finger, which can identify such fabrics, the newly developed flexible slip sensor mimics how a human fingerprint recognizes subtle features on surface textures.

  • Radar sees the forest through the trees

    The Land Use Change Alert (LUCA) system is a forest disturbance alert system that provides near-real-time information on forests globally.

  • The Port Authority of Livorno chooses MATE exoskeletons to improve ergonomics and employee safety

    The MATE-XT upper limb exoskeleton and the MATE-XB lumbar device were demonstrated to reduce the effort of operators by up to 30%.

  • Watch this GPT-4 driven robot play air guitar

    Researchers from the University of Tokyo update the latest iteration of the robot, dubbed Alter3, using GPT-4, which reportedly enabled the bot to perform simulations like taking a selfie, tossing a ball, eating popcorn and playing air guitar.

  • This firefighting robot promises to fight fires from a distance

    A prototype of the so-called Dragon Firefighter is a 4 m long, remotely controlled flying firehose robot, designed to extinguish fires in buildings safely and efficiently.

  • A picking robot for greenhouses

    Floating Robotics has created a robot that can automate tasks such as harvesting, defoliating and boxing vegetables.
