Neuromorphic Vision device mimics the human eye’s ability to capture light and the brain’s ability to process that visual informationResearchers at the RMIT university invented a device that detects movements just like humans do with our eyes and brains. This neurotrophic device is mimicking the analogue process of our eye and brain to detect movements. By using edge detection there is little need for data processing and power.

Objects in space are subjected to a hard vacuum that cycles rapidly between extremes of temperature3D printing in Space is a different ball game then printing on earth. The conditions are brutal; pressure and temperature can have a great impact on the quality of the 3D printed product. Engineers of the University of Glasgow’s James Watt School of Engineering created a Space simulator to test the structure and quality of 3D printing in orbit.

A new Lunar navigation system will enable GPS like navigation on the moonNavigating on the moon is not easy. The information of where a lunar explorer is depends on calculations and signals from earth. Take in account time delays and ‘shadow’ parts, the exact position of an explorer will remain a wild guess. The Spanish company GMV developed and tested a new lunar navigation system (Lupin) that will help future exploration with more exact location data.

SiFive is working with Kinara to create a USB-based board that allows bare metal development on high performance RISC-V processor cores in an AI chip. Bare metal is writing code directly for a controller or processor core rather than using a real time operating system or high level operating system such as Linux. Bare metal development is usually needed where there are constrained memory or performance issues such as latency.

Interacting with its surroundings, this robot synchronizes its movements on land and in waterThe research team from AMOLF took a very different approach and, to their own surprise they ended up with a clever robot. No electronics or AI has been used in this development. The inspiration was from the wobbly air figures that dance in front of gas stations. The robot uses only a continues stream of air to move its legs.
