Developing a mixed safety-critical
IIoT robotic arm
Robots that can man-handle car bodies incorporate several safe guards to protect workers. New software architectures have evolved to make these systems reliable and easy to manage. Muhammad Shafique | Mentor Graphics • Embedded Systems Div. The industrial automation industry is rapidly making use of today’s heterogeneous multicore system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. These multicore environments help […]
Teardown: The Garmin Forerunner 220 sport watch and heart monitor
Chest-mounted electronics do a more accurate job of counting heart beats than do optical sensors on the wrist. That’s one of the conclusions to come out of a close look at this sport watch aimed at runners. Leland Teschler Executive Editor A sport watch from Garmin called the Forerunner 220 is basically a runner’s watch […]
