Developing A Customized RISC-V Core For MEMS Sensors

By Tora Fridholm - 22 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

We recently described how Codasip Labs is working with the NimbleAI project to push the boundaries of neuromorphic vision. Let’s talk about another cool project. This project is focused on another sense, hearing. We will use our unique Codasip Studio design toolset to develop a customized RISC-V core for MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) sensors. Again, technology is inspired by bio... » read more

How Many Senses Do You Need To Drive A Car?

By Frank Schirrmeister - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The recent AutoSens conference in Detroit left me questioning whether I should turn in my driver's license. The answer the attending OEMs gave to all the discussions about the advantages of RGB cameras, ultrasound, radar, lidar, and thermal sensors was a unanimous "We probably need all of them in some form of combination" to make autonomy a reality in automotive. Together, these sensors are muc... » read more

An Ideal Always-Sensing Subsystem Architecture

By Paul Karazuba - 25 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Always-sensing cameras are a relatively new method for users to interact with their smartphones, home appliances, and other consumer devices. Like always-listening audio-based Siri and Alexa, always-sensing cameras enable a seamless, more natural user experience. Through continuous sampling and analyzing visual data, always-sensing enables use cases such as: “Find a face” detection for... » read more

By Technical Paper Link - 10 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "NVAutoNet: Fast and Accurate 360∘ 3D Visual Perception For Self Driving" was published by researchers at NVIDIA. Abstract "Robust real-time perception of 3D world is essential to the autonomous vehicle. We introduce an end-to-end surround camera perception system for self-driving. Our perception system is a novel multi-task, multi-camera network which takes a... » read more

Trusted Sensor Technology For The Internet Of Things

By Dirk Mayer - 27 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

“Data is the new oil” — Clive Humby, 2006 While this prediction relates to the value that can be generated from data, the focus here is on the tools at the oil well. Just as oil drilling platforms are expected to reliably produce crude oil around the clock, sensors are expected to reliably and continuously deliver high-quality data. But sensors have long since evolved from simple me... » read more

Easy-To-Use Mechanical Frequency Comb Platform (TU Delft)

By Technical Paper Link - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Mechanical overtone frequency combs" was published by researchers at Delft University of Technology, Ahmedabad University and NIST. Abstract "Mechanical frequency combs are poised to bring the applications and utility of optical frequency combs into the mechanical domain. So far, their main challenge has been strict requirements on drive frequencies and power,... » read more

The I3C Interface Can Help Improve Performance In Sensor Applications

By Graeme Clark - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The I3C interface (officially the “MIPI Alliance Improved Inter Integrated Circuit”) was initially developed by the MIPI Alliance to support sensor interconnect in mobile applications. The MIPI Alliance is a global alliance of electronics companies that develop technical specifications for mobile applications, of which Renesas Electronics is a member. The original concept behind the I3C ... » read more

The Power Of Sensors In Transmission Systems

By Ladurner Sebastian - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

I have always had a passion for cars. As a child, I used to spend hours playing with toy cars and imagining all sorts of incredible adventures. But as I got older, my love affair with cars only grew stronger. I became fascinated by the mechanics of these amazing machines and all the different parts that come together to make them run. And one of the parts that always intrigued me the most were ... » read more
