ScioSense, a developer and manufacturer of semiconductor-based environmental and flow sensors, has launched the UFC23 – the 4th generation ultrasonic flow converter for measurement in water, heat and gas meters.
How can meter manufacturers improve measurement accuracy, extend battery life, and retain control of their preferred system architecture?
In modern applications, flow calculation is increasingly handled by a central host microcontroller – requiring a converter that can deliver accurate measurement at very low flow rates and long battery life, two demands that are often difficult to achieve together.

In the fast-moving world of humanoid robotics, much of the attention remains focused on high-profile prototypes and demonstration videos.
Yet behind the scenes, a quieter but equally critical layer of innovation is taking place – one rooted in semiconductors, sensing, control systems, and the underlying architectures that make physical machines viable at scale.
Texas Instruments is one of the companies operating at this foundational level. Established in 1930 and long associated with American industrial and technological development, TI has evolved from its early days in oil exploration electronics into a global supplier of analog and embedded processing chips.

Software development AI robotics is transforming how intelligent machines operate across the physical world. From warehouse automation and industrial robots to humanoid robots designed for human interaction, modern robotics blends artificial intelligence, embedded systems and advanced software engineering to create intelligent systems that can perceive, decide and act.
As robotics projects grow more complex, structured software development becomes critical. Many organisations building AI and robotics platforms look to approaches followed by custom software companies like pulsion when aligning intelligent machines with recognised ISO standards and secure development frameworks.
Applying good practice in software engineering ensures robotics systems remain safe, scalable and reliable under real world conditions. [Read more…] about Software Development AI Robotics: Engineering Intelligent Machines for the Real World
You might find old electronic products that are not supported anymore. If you reverse engineer circuit board parts from these, you can fix and improve them. Many people do this to repair old gadgets or make them last longer.
Some want to avoid planned obsolescence. Sometimes, you need to reverse engineer circuit board layouts if you cannot find schematics or repair guides. [Read more…] about Discontinued Electronic Products: In-depth Analysis of PCB Reverse Engineering and IC Unlock Techniques

An embedded system involves combining hardware and software to design a dedicated computer system that performs a specific task in electronic, mechanical, and electronic devices.
They are designed to operate with little to no human interference and to complete tasks in the most efficient way.
Embedded systems can be used in various industries such as healthcare, life sciences, military and defense industry, industrial automation, and other industries. [Read more…] about 6 Benefits of Embedded Systems
Exclusive interview with Mike Bell from Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu
There’s a lot of talk about the Robot Operating System. Understandably so. But the most widely used operating system in robotics and automation systems development is actually Ubuntu.
In fact, ROS is not actually an operating system at all – it’s a set of software frameworks, or a software development kit, to be installed into an operating system like Ubuntu.
As Mike Bell, executive vice president of internet of things and devices at Canonical, explains in an exclusive interview: “It’s a bit confusing because it’s called Robot Operating System, but the reason is because if you’re developing robot applications, you don’t need to worry about the fact that it’s running on Ubuntu.
“You just write your application to interface into a ROS SDK and then deploy on Ubuntu.” [Read more…] about Interview with Ubuntu boss: A rich ecosystem for robotics and automation systems
