With their “SoftHand”, German Robotics from Munich present the first anatomically shaped hand for collaborating robots (Cobots). With its 19 dislocatable, self-healing finger joints, the SoftHand replaces numerous individual grippers and thus is predestined for complex handling tasks. The research variant of SoftHand offers open interfaces including Matlab. The industrial design, on the other hand, […]

FPGAs are widely used in a variety of products due to their many advantages, including short development time, cost effectiveness, and flexibility to reconfigure or update in the field. Many new FPGAs employ advanced technology to achieve low power consumption and high performance. They use a new fabrication process that tends to require a lower core voltage, which extends the supply voltage range and increases current capability. Many FPGAs also have varying power supply requirements for each power rail. These power rails may have a different voltage output requirement, sequencing requirement, and noise sensitivity. Power module devices are ideal for addressing these power supply requirements.

The cooperation between the companies within the S&T Group opens up many new fields of applications. With the IoT Software Framework SUSiEtec from S&T Technologies, Kontron can offer artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for its edge computers from a single source, such as for instance for Visual Inspection. This is where Kontron benefits from its many years of experience as a manufacturer of high-performance, state-of-the-art industrial computers based on the latest processor technology.

Connecting a development tool, laptop, and other resources to electronic hardware for test and debug is risky. While direct connections over UART, SPI, I2C, and other buses are necessary to monitor how the system behaves, there are many times when the hardware under development can fail. It can then send unwanted voltage and current over […]

Silicon carbide (SiC) is en route to mainstream for applications like photovoltaic and uninterruptable power supplies. Infineon Technologies AG is now targeting the next group of applications for this wide bandgap technology: The evaluation board EVAL-M5-E1B1245N-SiC will help to pave the way for SiC in motor drives and help strengthening Infineon’s market position as #1 […]
