Diraq is developing quantum computers based on electron spins in silicon (silicon-spin qubits). Tess Skyrme, Technology Analyst at IDTechEx, interviewed the Head of Solid-State Physics Dr Andre Saraiva.

Lidar cleaning is a less commonly discussed question as lidar deployment is still in its early stages. However, it can play an important role for the lidar types we want to choose and where we want to integrate them. This short article therefore introduces the existing methods to clean lidar and potential methods that can be applied for a lidar system with auto-cleaning functions.

Collaborative robots, also commonly known as cobots, refer to robots that work side-by-side with human operators. Unlike industrial robots that are separated from human operators, cobots share the same working space as humans. As a relatively new definition, cooperative robots sound like collaborative robots but represents a different nature of the operation.
