CGConnect, its cellular micro-modem that uses 4G/5G networks to link any drone or robotic vehicle to Cloud Ground Control’s cloud-based drone fleet management platform, enabling live-streaming, command and control from a web browser.
Beach cleaning operations focus on removing the waste we can see, such as plastic water bottles and trash, often using gas-powered tractors that bury microplastics beneath the top layer of sand. In contrast, the Cornell Nexus robot will use renewable solar energy to collect and remove microplastic waste.
In the not-too-distant future, autonomous, networked vehicles will be able to handle most tasks independently. However, they are not yet capable of dealing with all traffic situations. If they encounter a problem that they do not know how to solve, safety comes first.
With the Interurban Vehicle (IUV), the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has developed a ground-breaking concept for mid- and upper range vehicles.
Using satellite imagery or road schematic maps as "side information," the ViKiNG robot can plan its own miles-long route to a goal — measurably outperforming its strongest competitors, even when its side information is inaccurate or outdated.
This research predicts the adaptive cruise control set speed profile in the user-defined range for the future time steps, optimizing the engine operating point (EOP) in real-time. The prediction of EOP was made by a deep learning model using all the parameters affecting the engine performance.
Advances in software allow a customized car to perform controlled, autonomous drifting to enhance active safety and to give drivers the skills of professional racers.
Highly automated and autonomous driving are getting ever nearer to becoming a reality. This technology holds the potential to make transport systems safer, more efficient and more convenient.
The ROboMObil (ROMO) has been transferring space research to the road since 2011. The project began a few years earlier at the DLR when researchers at the Robotics and Mechatronics Center (RMC) had the idea to combine rover technology developed for Mars and lunar vehicles with electric mobility.
A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed software which lets race cars compete in motor sports without a driver. The TUM Autonomous Motorsport Team was able to take 1st and 2nd place at the Autonomous Challenges in Indianapolis and most recently at the CES in Las Vegas.
Article #7 of our Circuit Protection Series: Designer engineers must incorporate circuit protection early enough in the process of vehicle electronics to avoid last-minute revisions that can delay compliance approvals and potentially compromise circuit performance.
