With advancements like large language models, we are seeing increased integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into engineering processes. Design engineers of advanced machines and systems such as robots, medical devices, automotive components, and manufacturing lines, are already using AI to streamline design and production processes.

A research team at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) recently developed a novel artificial compound eye system that is not only more cost-effective but demonstrates a sensitivity at least twice that of existing market products in small areas. The system promises to revolutionize robotic vision, enhance robots' abilities in navigation, perception, and decision-making, while promoting commercial application and further development in human-robot collaboration.

In the competitive landscape of food manufacturing and processing, automation emerges as a crucial advantage, driving efficiency, safety, and innovation. As manufacturers, OEMs, and engineers face the challenge of meeting escalating productivity and quality demands, advanced automation solutions become indispensable. IMI, renowned for its product brands like IMI Norgren, IMI Bimba, and IMI Bahr, as well as its expertise in motion control and fluid technology, leads the way with solutions that surpass industry expectations.

This paper will look at how today’s automotive market trends – using the shorthand PACES – is impacting the evolution of vehicle technologies, as well as the consequences for electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures. Specifically, it will focus on how data connectivity requirements are evolving to become key enablers of new architectural concepts.

Communicating when traumatic brain injury, stroke, or disease has made speech impossible can be daunting. But specialized eye-tracking technology uses eye movement to enable people living with disabilities to connect one-on-one, over the phone, or via the internet.
