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.

The Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) is transforming optical sensing and LiDAR technology by providing high photon detection efficiency, low noise, and fast response times, enabling greater accuracy and resolution in applications such as autonomous navigation, environmental mapping, and 3D imaging.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a wheeled robot that makes its way through a crowd of people safely and without hesitation. A computer on board predicts the movement of people in the vicinity and how they are likely to react to the robot.
VOSTOK, a local navigation system for autonomous systems, has been unveiled at ITMO. Useful in areas with poor or non-existent GPS signal, the technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, unmanned aircraft employed on icebreakers along the Northern Sea Route, or drones delivering groceries.
Innovative semiconductor solutions are essential for addressing ADAS sensor integration challenges, including power management, communication reliability, and safety enhancements, enabling smarter and safer automotive systems.
LiDAR technology is advancing industrial automation by providing precise measurements of object distances using light, with companies like Hamamatsu Photonics leading in the development of high-quality sources and detectors.
