A new generation of swarming robots which can independently learn and evolve new behaviours in the wild is one step closer, thanks to research from the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England (UWE). The team used artificial evolution to enable the robots to automatically learn swarm behaviours which are understandable to humans.…
Vehicle manufacturers are investing heavily in autonomy and the communications infrastructure required to make autonomous vehicles work, without compromising on user safety or cyberdata safety. Here, we take a look at the steps General Motors and Honda have taken with Cybersecurity, whilst analysing the rigorous testing autonomous vehicles go through to be declared road worthy.…

Equipped with embedded evaluation software and a high resolution, 7-inch, hardened colour touchscreen, the unit has a built-in power supply, rugged aluminium housing and…
For years the INDEX engineers have successfully integrated the grinding technology in the basic machine version of the modular building block system of the VerticalLine. The high precision of the standard machine, that is appreciated by many users, is the best requirement for the combination of hard turning with the system enhancement with grinding. The…
