ADAS

Robotics are becoming increasingly integrated into all main aspects of driving and the automotive sector as a whole. This article covers some of the main uses for robotics in vehicle operation and manufacturing processes, including radar for safety, and humanoid robots for assembly.

'Robotics' takes on many different forms today. This article explores the way cars could pre-empt a driver's needs and make coffee-stop decisions en route, to humanoid robots operating in warehouses and cobots assisting humans in production lines.

IDTechEx covers the ever-growing, multifaceted autonomous vehicle market, made possible with advancing automotive radar and sensing technology. This article covers front and side vehicle radars, and the use of in-cabin sensing and AI features.

Making the call to order a coffee on-the-go could be the new normal for vehicles fitted with in-cabin sensing features and artificial intelligence systems. This article explores the future of software-defined vehicles and increasing levels of autonomy.

Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is one of the most important ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) features a vehicle can have. Studies have shown that pedestrian crash risk is reduced by 25-27% and pedestrian injury crash risk by 29-30% through the implementation of AEB.

Autonomous buses represent one of the most challenging platforms in the autonomous driving industry. In recent years, commercial interest has shifted towards roboshuttles and robotaxis, partly due to the complex operational design domains (ODD) of autonomous buses.

By 2044, it is expected that the global trucking fleet will be supported by an additional half a million L4 autonomous drivers, while the remaining drivers will either act as supervisors or work in less developed regions. The autonomous truck industry is projected to have an annual growth rate of 25.6% over the next 20 years.

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are composed of thermal fillers and matrix materials. Thermal fillers are highly thermally conductive substances, while matrix materials are typically used to enhance mechanical properties.
