Market trends and business perspectives
If you are in the business of developing and selling applications for a wide variety of platforms, you may have encountered a number of challenges.
Apart from funding the project, there is also the issue of setting up systems that ensure the quality of the final product.
App development is complicated as it is, but it shouldn’t be costly and time-consuming if the end result is half-baked. [Read more…] about How to Streamline Your App Development Workflow

Mecademic, a maker of tiny industrial robot arms, is planning to launch a very small new SCARA robot.
The company describes the MCS500 as “with the world’s most compact SCARA robot” and says it is coming soon.
Mecademic says its new SCARA robot is designed and built using the same principles as Meca500 and is “a tiny, highly precise, and easy-to-integrate automation component”. [Read more…] about Mecademic to launch tiny new SCARA robot
Spacecraft are developed on Earth, tested, fully assembled and transported in one piece by a launch vehicle to their respective places of operation. Each component must be designed to withstand the high loads of the launch phase.
In most cases, in addition to complex test procedures, this leads to an oversized structure of the spacecraft components, because in orbit they experience only a fraction of the stresses they must endure during rocket launch.
The maximum take-off mass required for transport with the launch vehicle and the volume of satellites, for example, thus cause high space transport costs. [Read more…] about Cost reduction in aerospace through additive manufacturing
Motional, a driverless technology developer, and rideshare service provider Lyft have agreed joint plans to launch a multimarket robotaxi service in major US cities, beginning in 2023.

Motional, a driverless technology developer, and Via, a public mobility solutions provider, have agreed a partnership that they say will “serve as a blueprint for the future of on-demand, shared robotaxis”.
Motional and Via seek to use learnings from the partnership to inform how driverless vehicles can be integrated into mass transit networks, and optimized for pooled rides.
The partnership’s first service – shared robotaxi rides, available to the public – is expected to launch in one of Motional’s existing US markets in the first half of 2021. The initial launch market will be announced at a later date. [Read more…] about Motional and Via partner to launch platform for public, on-demand shared robotaxi rides
