ifm offer a lased-based 3D sensor.

Draper are developing a lidar module. Draper are a non-profit R&D lab and was originally part of MIT (USA).

DENSO Corporation offer lidar modules. DENSO also offer radar, camera and ultrasonic sensors for ADAS applications.

IDTechEx interviewed Sophie Kyounghee Son, Project Manager at Looxid Labs at their booth at AWE EU 2019.

A key focus of the Sensors USA part of the IDTechEx Show! will be Point-of-Care Biosensors. Biosensor devices provide information associated with a specific health condition or disease. The general trend in biosensors is a move from testing in centralized hospitals, to the patents with point-of-care devices.

IDTechEx Technology Analyst Dr Charlotte Coles and Principal Analyst James Hayward visited AWE EU 2019 between the 17th-18th October 2019 in Munich, Germany, to investigate current trends and companies in the AR/VR/MR market.

New Report from IDTechEx Research forecasts the global market for lidar in autonomous vehicles growing to $5.4 billion by 2030. Analysis of 100+ 3D lidar companies; automotive focus. Mechanical, MEMS, OPA, flash, liquid crystal and other solid-state lidar for ADAS, autonomous vehicles, industrial, smart city, security and mapping.

This article offers an introduction to HD mapping for autonomous driving. It discusses the essential role that maps will play from L2 to L5 and how the map itself becomes richer and more complex as higher levels of autonomy are approached.

Wearable biosensors that non-invasively monitor health and fitness are growing in popularity among adults. However, adapting this technology for use with babies is difficult, now researchers say they have developed a pacifier-based biosensor that tracks real-time glucose levels in saliva.

On November 20 & 21 the IDTechEx Show! opens in the Santa Clara convention center to 3,500 people representing technology scouts and innovation managers from global brands to suppliers from across the value chain.

IDTechEx recently visited the National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) as part of our global ongoing research activities. NTUT has developed water-based graphene composites, as opposed to most others which use organic solvents. IDTechEx Interviewed Dr KuoYuan Hwa, Associate Professor/Director.
