Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing electronics design, automation, and data processing. Recent developments in machine learning (ML), computer vision, and AI-powered systems have enhanced the capabilities of smart devices, autonomous vehicles, and IoT applications. As AI continues to evolve, it is transforming industries like healthcare, telecommunications, and robotics, enabling faster, more intelligent decision-making. AI hardware, including neuromorphic chips and AI accelerators, is pushing the limits of processing power and efficiency. With Generative AI’s increasing global presence, it remains a driving force behind the development of future technologies across all sectors.
Renesas has introduced a high-end AI MCU family with triple processors and security. The highest spec devices in the ‘RA8P1’ microcontroller family combine a 1GHz Arm Cortex-M85 processor with a 256 MAC/cycle 400MHz Arm Ethos-U55 neural processing unit and a 250MHz Cortex-M33 CPU. “This combination delivers CPU performance of over 7,300 CoreMarks and AI performance of 256Gop/s,” according to the ...
I wasn't aware of this one, though it launched in April: the self-explanatory Arduino AI Assistant (the AAA).
DAC 2025: There was a lot of talk about AI at this year’s DAC but one of the most significant was that Siemens Digital Industries Software has added generative and agentic AI capabilities across its EDA portfolio. The EDA AI system applies across all semiconductor and PCB design suites, including Questra, Tessent, Xpedition, Veloce, Catapult, Calibre, Aprisa and Solido. “It ...
DAC moves to Long Beach, southern California for 2026. The exhibition and conference covers chips to systems with education, exhibits, training and networking opportunities for designers, researchers, tool developers and vendors. It is of interest to system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives, and researchers and academicians from leading universities. The ...
What do you think of this one, on Kickstarter? It's a smart tennis robot that has legs (wheels)... The "rally robot" from Acemate.
This week we're talking about rugged displays, the contrast between how the US and UK tax R&D expenses, a robotic hand with a sense of touch, and Lockheed Martin's AI Fight Club...
Formerly AI Hardware & Edge AI Summit The summit has evolved from a semiconductor conference into a full-stack AI infrastructure event with content designed for hardware providers, hyperscalers, and all enterprise IT and AI infrastructure specialists building fast, efficient, and affordable AI. There will be keynotes from industry leaders covering: hardware and systems; enterprise AI, edge AI and AI data ...
UK AI talent is the “envy of the world” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in a conversation with Sir Keir Starmer at London Tech Week yesterday. However the UK is in a “Goldilocks circumstance”, said Huang with largest store of AI brainpower on the planet at our universities, companies and research institutions and the third largest VC investment in AI ...
F-Tac is a robot hand that can sense touch with 100μm resolution across 70% of its grasping surface, and can grasp using that touch feedback. “The spatial resolution combined with the enormous coverage are truly novel and were not possible previously,” claimed team member Professor Kaspar Althoefer (pictured), director of the Centre of Excellence Advanced Robotics at Queen Mary University, ...
Lockheed Martin is developing an environment that tests the ability of AI to support warfighters. It’s dubbed AI Fight Club and will simulate how rival AI systems perform in air, land, sea, and space domains. Basically, it aims to be a proving ground for the best artificial intelligence models for military support. “There has never been a more important time ...
