STMicroelectronics, a semiconductor company, and USound, an audio wearables company, are launching the first silicon micro-speakers resulting from their technology collaboration announced last year.
Engineering samples are now with lead customers, and trade demonstrations will take place during CES 2018, in Las Vegas. (Main picture shows previously launched technology – not the new product.)
These extremely small speakers, expected to be the thinnest in the world and less than half the weight of conventional speakers, enable wearable tech such as earphones, over-the-ear headphones, or augmented reality and virtual reality headgear to become even more compact and comfortable.

The Chinese vehicle market is not only the largest in the world (sales of 28 million units in 2016) but it also offers the highest number of brands (130).
More and more new players – most of them local producers – are entering the field.
Globally China is establishing itself not only as the leading market for new-energy vehicles, but also for connectivity, autonomous driving and totally new mobility concepts. [Read more…] about David v Goliath in Chinese car market: Nio’s powerful slingshot
2018 looks all set to be a bumper year for sales of industrial robot arms across all categories – from the large, heavyweight class right down to the small desktop variety.
With established robot makers expanding their range, and with new startups launching innovative new models, the market is more dynamic than ever.
Oversupply may be a problem going forward, especially as Chinese robot manufacturers step up their production, but even including the new companies entering the market, the number of industry-standard robot makers worldwide is relatively small.

Autonomous vehicles aren’t science fiction any more. Top automobile firms and technology giants are working towards making self-driven cars commercially available by 2021.
In the same way how IoT is revolutionizing the industrial organization, self-driven vehicles are revolutionizing the transportation industry, allowing people to travel safely and comfortably.
These connected vehicles have the ability to mitigate pollution owing to their real-time traffic information and smart routing. [Read more…] about How sensors and actuators are being used to create self-driven vehicles
The debate continues on whether or not the working class will become obsolete as society becomes more automated.
Robots are slowly replacing human workers, and this is very evident in the world of finance where robots are transforming the future.
Cloud computing, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and analytics are now changing finance operations. [Read more…] about The future role of robotics in finance
There’s always been a lot of hype surrounding robotics and automation, and it’s been the subject of many a classic work of science fiction.
What’s fascinating about sci-fi is that often what is fiction today ends up being fact of life tomorrow.
Whatever the hype, however, this year is likely to be an extremely important year for the robotics and automation industry. [Read more…] about After the hype of 2017, the real business could be done in 2018

Downtime is inevitable when it comes to machine automation.
When production stops, orders will likely stack up quickly, hitting start on the “profits lost” clock.
After the failed part is identified, many machine automation professionals would lean towards shipping the flawed part to get serviced as soon as humanly possible. [Read more…] about How to gather information before sending a part in to be repaired
The University of Puerto Rico, UPR-Bayamón, has received prestigious accreditations in its technological programs.
The University of Puerto Rico in Bayamón, five technological programs of the institution were re-accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.
This significant achievement positively impacts over 600 students, which translates into 14.1 per cent of the total enrollment of the campus. [Read more…] about University of Puerto Rico re-accredited by ABET engineering commission
