Sensor development is driving the next generation of wearable devices, and this development is now going further than simply attaching sensors to devices that can be stuck on the body

This short video will focus on the expectations of printed electronics technologies in the automotive industry over the next decade.

A presentation by Parker Hannifin Corporation, winner of the IDTechEx Printed Electronics USA award in the category of "Best Technical Development: Materials" for their "Electro-Active Polymers Technology".

The product is a curved wearable device with a flexible OLED touch display.

A new technology to measure tyre pressure and temperature and will transform the way transport fleets currently track, monitor and manage tyres.

In the last decade, the display has evolved from being primarily an output device to the main user interface. Touchscreens are becoming ubiquitous. But what other sensors will be integrated in the display?

At the upcoming IDTechEx Show in Berlin visitors will see the latest innovation in the field of IoT sensors. Exhibitors will demonstrate new manufacturing technologies, novel sensing devices and energy management solutions.

Following a previous article summarising the top level markets and trends in robotics, Dr Jon Harrop describes the emerging trends that will drive the evolution of the robotics space in the near future. Key topics of discussion are collaborative robotics, mobile robotics (including UAVs, UGVs and AUVs), trends in surgical and agricultural robots, geographical robotics interest from Japan, and the impact of the Chinese robotics market on the global picture.

Many of the most prominent examples of wearable technology today revolve around algorithms that take data from sensors such as IMUs and purpose it towards useful causes. As such, many companies have developed their own systems for making the most of this data. This article details some of the more recent examples of products that IDTechEx have seen at various events.

An amputee was able to feel smoothness and roughness in real-time with an artificial fingertip that was surgically connected to nerves in his upper arm.

This profile is focused on Ostendo's Quantum Photonic Imager (QPI) technology, its proprietary LED microdisplay, currently under development. Although still largely in stealth mode about its technology, some information has been made available about the company's QPI to IDTechEx analysts and in some display symposiums.
