Confusion Grows Over Sensor Fusion In Autos
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

A key strategy for fully autonomous vehicles is the ability to fuse together inputs from multiple sensors, which is essential for making safe and secure decisions, but it's turning out to be much harder than first imagined. There are multiple problems that need to be solved, including how to partition, prioritize, and ultimately combine different types of data, and how to architect the proce... » read more

Solving The Last-Mile Delivery Problem
By John Koon - 06 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Retailers are deploying robots to cut costs and improve efficiency, opening new opportunities for chipmakers as well as a host of new challenges. Key to this strategy are autonomous roadside delivery robots (ARDRs). Retailers have been facing razor-thin profit margins for years and have turned their sights to increasing operational efficiency to stay competitive. Solving the last-mile delive... » read more

Reduce Aquaculture Biological Footprint With Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulations
By Veena Parthan - 06 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Aquaculture, which has existed since 1000 BCE, is gaining widespread recognition for its potential to provide sustainable fish products. This form of farming, also known as captive breeding, is the go-to method for fish farmers to satisfy the growing demand for seafood and freshwater fish. In aquaculture farming, choosing the right location is substantial for healthy breeding, such as having co... » read more
