An all-electric drone developed by Blueflite with vertical take-off and landing capabilities and advanced maneuverability for faster and more cost-effective deliveries.

Specialized robots that can both fly and drive typically touch down on land before attempting to transform and drive away. But when the landing terrain is rough, these robots sometimes get stuck and are unable to continue operating. Now, a team of Caltech engineers has developed a real-life Transformer that has the "brains" to morph in mid-air, allowing the drone-like robot to smoothly roll away and begin its ground operations without pause. The increased agility and robustness of such robots could be particularly useful for commercial delivery systems and robotic explorers.

A University of Nebraska–Lincoln engineering team is another step closer to developing soft robotics and wearable systems that mimic the ability of human and plant skin to detect and self-heal injuries.

Consumer demands are reshaping how vehicles are designed and manufactured, driving rapid innovation in electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. Get insights from TE Connectivity experts into the trends driving this automotive evolution, their impact on vehicle design, and the scalable, innovative technologies and connectivity solutions that are enabling safer, smarter, and more sustainable vehicles.

The deliberate blocking of or interference with wireless communications, radio jamming has been around for decades. We’ve even seen it in pop-culture stalwarts such as the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises.
