Advanced autonomous cars have revolutionary meaning for the automobile industry. While more and more companies have already started to build their own autonomous cars, no one has yet brought a practical autonomous car into the market. One key problem of their cars is lacking a reliable active real-time motion planning system for the urban environment. […]

Background/Scenario In many military applications, communications to unmanned systems are limited or prohibited and In the undersea domain, this is often the norm. Conducting submarine-launched Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) operations requires a level of autonomy for the AUV dependent on its assigned tasks, environmental conditions, and operational permissiveness. In some covert undersea operations, the AUV

TE Connectivity released the HTU31 humidity and temperature sensor, presented as one of the smallest and most accurate humidity sensors currently available. The sensor provides precision measurement, fast response time, low hysteresis, and sustained performance, even in harsh environments. The HTU31 keeps a strict linear response curve through its humidity (0-100%) and temperature (-40° to 125°C) ranges, respectively, and

The new Real-Time HAT by InnoRoute adds IEEE1588 PTP support in hardware to a Raspberry Pi 4 nestled beneath. Based around a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA and a handful of gigabit Ethernet PHY devices, the HAT acts as network-passthrough, adding accurate time-stamps to egress (outgoing) packets and stripping time-stamps from the ingress (incoming) side. This hardware time-stamping involves re-writing Ethernet
