By Technical Paper Link - 24 Feb, 2026 - Comments: 0

University College London researchers published "A Comprehensive Survey on Deep Learning-Based LiDAR Super-Resolution for Autonomous Driving." Abstract "LiDAR sensors are often considered essential for autonomous driving, but high-resolution sensors remain expensive while affordable low-resolution sensors produce sparse point clouds that miss critical details. LiDAR super-resolution addre... » read more

Smarter Cars, Higher Stakes
By Sascha Brodsky - 01 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence is turbocharging automotive innovation, but it's also unleashing a tangle of high stakes risks that engineers and security experts are scrambling to contain. The push to embed AI deep into today’s vehicles is changing how cars are built, how they handle the road, and how they keep passengers safe. But as onboard intelligence expands, so do the risks. AI systems that... » read more

Photonics Could Reduce The Cost Of Lidar
By Karen Heyman - 05 Sep, 2024 - Comments: 0

Using light to move data over shorter distances is becoming more common, both because there is much more data to move around and because photons are faster and cooler than electrons. Using optical fiber for mission-critical communication is already well established. It has been the preferred PHY for long-haul communications for decades because it doesn’t suffer from the attenuation losses ... » read more

Sensor Requirements For Developing Robust Environment Perception Systems
By Ron Martin - 18 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

In recent years, sensor systems for environment perception have become increasingly important – whether for adaptive robotics, automated driving, industrial process and quality control, or condition monitoring. The aim is always to detect and interpret certain environmental characteristics. In doing so, it’s important to choose not only the right algorithm but also the right sensor or senso... » read more

Silicon Photonics Manufacturing Ramps Up
By Gregory Haley - 21 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

Circuit scaling is starting to hit a wall as the laws of physics clash with exponential increases in the volume of data, forcing chipmakers to take a much closer look at silicon photonics as a way of moving data from where it is collected to where it is processed and stored. The laws of physics are immutable. Put simply, there are limits to how fast an electron can travel through copper. The... » read more
