Where Innovation Meets Imagination
On average, 4.5 accidents per driver per year occur in the fleet industry. Any of which could be fatal, taking their lives.
Reasons? There are many, but they can be generally classified as driver-side problems or system-side.
Employing the right UX design strategies minimizes both drive-side and system-side problems to a great extent, improving overall driver safety in the fleet industry. [Read more…] about 4 UX Design Strategies for Improving Driver Safety in the Fleet Industry
Europalco, a Portuguese company which claims to be “the largest provider of solutions for events and shows in Southern Europe”, has recently invested in two Kuka robots to “create differentiating events with a new ‘wow factor’” for its clients.
Europalco plans to use the Kuka KR210 robots in many ways, with LED walls, LCD, lasers, and even artists or people assisting the events. The robots can hold, move, or animate monitors or video screens. They can also be used to produce props and mobile stage designs. The range of applications is limitless.
The Kuka KR210 are fast, dynamic, and flexible to bring splendid effects to the stage and the event. Engineers can leverage the flexibility of robots to create fascinating static stage sets for performance. [Read more…] about Europalco buys two robots from Kuka to add ‘wow factor’ to shows
Lead generation is one of the most important elements for every business to drive targeted audiences to your website and increase lead flow. But another element that is as important as Lead generation is Demand Generation.
As observed by CMO of Kennected Stephen Twomey and other experts, people often use lead generation and demand generation interchangeably.
But this confusion can negatively influence the lead flow. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the difference between both terms to generate more leads at a lower cost per lead (CPL), thus helping to generate more revenue. So, what exactly is demand generation? [Read more…] about CMO of Kennected Stephen Twomey Talks Demand Generation
A look at the three distinct phases of a bear market and what trading strategies to deploy during each.
In a professional trading environment, where the main strategy is backed up by sufficient information and knowledge, the ability to analyze and trade with the help of crypto trading platforms, for example, crypto trading automation, but also, of course, with little luck.
The most relevant topics are the stages of the bear market, what is worth knowing, and what every trader should be afraid of. [Read more…] about Three stages of a bear market
Baidu Apollo Go has received what it says is the “first ever permits in China” that authorize the company to provide driverless ride-hailing services to the public on open road in Beijing.
This regulatory approval marks a significant milestone for the autonomous ride-hailing industry in China, indicating a regulatory openness to taking a further step toward a fully driverless mobility future.
With these permits issued by the head office of the Beijing High-level Automated Driving Demonstration Area (BJHAD), ten autonomous vehicles without drivers behind the steering wheel will offer rides to passengers in a designated area of 60 square kilometers in Beijing. [Read more…] about Baidu wins ‘first’ driverless permits in China for autonomous ride hailing on public roads
Discovery or scoping phase refers to the initial stage of software development whereby the chief focus is on getting to know the end-user, clarifying project vision, scope, and goals, and identifying risks.
As such, during the discovery phase of a software project, the project team researches, collects, and assesses project details to plan the complete product development cycle. [Read more…] about Discovery Phase of a Software Project: The Purpose and Steps
The convergence of automotive and technology industries is accelerating the pace of innovation in the mobility and transportation sectors, leading to a surge in patent grants relevant to autonomous vehicles while also attracting venture capital investors’ interest in the area.
GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company, has ranked autonomous vehicles among the top 10 innovation-led technologies.
GlobalData’s Technology Innovation Intensity framework is a proprietary data-driven model that incorporates key innovation drivers from alternative datasets such as patents and deals to track a technology’s pace of innovation as well as its lifecycle stage.

Stratom, a developer of autonomous ground vehicles and robotic systems for logistics and operational applications, has been selected as part of an exclusive team to deliver the US Department of Defense’s Stage II of the Modular Autonomy and Robotic Software program, which involves the collaborative migration of Robotic Technology Kernel software modules from the first version of the Robot Operating System to ROS 2.
For nearly a decade, the US government has been developing ROS-M (Robotic Operating System-Military), an ecosystem of software architectures, reusable components and supporting infrastructure to enable rapid development and fielding of robotic and autonomous systems.
Built on ROS 1, ROS-M enables the DoD to benefit from open-source development practices while maintaining tight control over the community-developed code. However, ROS 1’s current revision, Noetic, is set to be the last version, with support ending in 2025. [Read more…] about US DoD selects Stratom to migrate robotic systems from ROS-1 to ROS-2
The Volkswagen Group Components plant in Braunschweig is significantly expanding its production of battery systems for the latest electric vehicle generation. Following the first expansion stage with a maximum capacity of 250,000 battery systems, the second expansion stage has started up with the same capacity.
This means that once the site is fully ramped up it will now be able to fit up to 500,000 batteries a year for models based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) – in this case for the fully electric Volkswagen ID.31 and ID.42, as well as the Škoda Enyaq iV3, which should soon be quietly and powerfully cruising the streets of Europe with a battery heart from Braunschweig.
In addition to that, up to 100,000 battery systems for the beloved models e-up!4, SEAT Mii electric5, Škoda Citigoe iV6 and as well as for hybrid vehicles such as the Volkswagen Golf GTE7. [Read more…] about Volkswagen expands production of battery systems
Alio Industries has unveiled the latest version of its Hybrid Hexapod nano-positioning.
The “all new” HH-30D Hybrid Hexapod – the industry’s only 6-Degree-Of-Freedom (6-DOF) nano positioning device with +/-30 degrees tip and tilt travel.
The Hybrid Hexapod was developed by Alio Industries to address the inherent performance limitations of conventional hexapods. [Read more…] about Alio Industries launches new nano-positioning device
