Dubbed ‘MaxDiff RL’ (maximum diffusion reinforcement learning), “the algorithm’s success lies in its ability to encourage robots to explore their environments as randomly as possible in order to gain a diverse set of experiences”, according to the university. “The algorithm works so well that robots learned new tasks and then successfully performed them within a […]
Smart Configurator is a graphical tool that generates source code that will configuring peripherals such as timers, interfaces and interrupt controllers. In this case, the source code is ready to be build in Embedded Studio, with its built-in C/C++ compiler, and debug with Segger’s J-Link debug probes. The two companies collaborated on the integration. “With […]
IWRL6432AOP is an FMCW radar that works over 57 to 63.9GHz and at distances up to 25m. It includes: an RF and analogue front-end, an Arm Cortex-M3 processor to configure, control and calibrate the front-end, a 160MHz Cortex-M4F (with floating point) to run application code, and a hardware accelerator for executing common radar processing algorithms […]

The company claims it will be the first pure-play foundry with 300mm capability. “With Rogue Valley Microdevices’ investment in 300mm MEMS capability at our new Palm Bay, Florida fab, we’re poised to empower our customers with significant competitive advantages, facilitating their journey from initial concept to the successful commercialisation of their MEMS and sensor designs,” […]
“The continuing decline in IC fab utilisation and inventory adjustment led to negative growth across all wafer sizes in Q1 2024, with polished wafer shipments falling slightly more year-over-year than EPI wafer shipments,” says Lee Chungwei Chairman of SEMI Semiconductor Manufacturers Group and Vice President and Chief Auditor at GlobalWafers, “notably, utilisation by some fabs […]
Specifically, the Ministry of Defence (MOD)’s Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) agency chose the company to develop and future proof the tools that generate and analyse the data used by the UK Armed Forces’ combat aircraft – for example,the locations and types of threats fielded by an enemy. Leonardo will be working closely with the […]
In its Q1 report for 2024, ITSA members have seen a 10% overall growth in orders, with some segments outperforming expectations. Key Stats: – • Revenues are flat versus the exit of 2023, but continue to hold up. • Circular connectors (both MIL and Commercial) saw orders up 30% in Q1. • Some key markets […]
From deep-earth exploration to the depths of space, discover how this durable technology could power the future of AI and beyond. When smartphones shut down during a beach day, it’s typically due to their electronic components failing to withstand the heat. This failure occurs because the memory chips aren’t designed to handle extreme temperatures, causing […]
