AI is beginning to make inroads into designing and managing programmable logic, where it can be used to simplify and speed up portions of the design process. FPGAs and DSPs are st ...

Virtual PLCs run control logic in software instead of hardware. Here's what that means for your manufacturing operation.

More engineers are turning to reinforcement learning to incorporate adaptive and self-tuning control into industrial systems. It aims to strike a balance between traditional ...

A panel of industry experts takes a sneak peek at system-level design challenges in EVs and outlines viable solutions.

Considering that the Serial Peripheral Interface bus semi-standard has been around since the early 1980s, it’s perhaps not that shocking that the controllers of the Super Nintendo ...

The idea of building a machine from isolated parts, each with its own setup and software, no longer fits how modern automation works.

Why Pi-based prototypes can fall apart in industrial environments, and how the BB-400 fixes every weak point. How onboard UPS, dual-power inputs, deterministic I/O, and industrial-grade networking ...

For decades, light water reactors have used control rods to regulate the fission reaction that powers a nuclear plant. The rods move vertically in and out of the core and are made of mat. . .

CRISPR gene drives bias inheritance in pests, advancing population-level control while raising questions about resistance and ...

The evolution of safety-critical autonomous systems, including agile drones and surgical robots, has fundamentally increased the demands for control design.

The security cabinet took actions that make it easier for Jews to buy land in the territory. Critics say the changes violate the Oslo Accords and international law and accelerate attempts to annex the ...

Artificial intelligence is increasingly transforming microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip development for diagnostics, biosensing, drug delivery, and ...
