Where code meets reality, embedded systems come at that intersection, demanding precision, efficiency, and careful planning. But how does it become possible, meeting microcontroller constraints, real-time requirements, and open source tools? There are many engineers who bring experience across both microcontroller-based embedded systems and Linux-based environments. With this mix in mind, the focus here remains […]

FPGAs are reprogrammable hardware devices that offer high speed, flexibility, and real-time performance, making them ideal for parallel and time-critical applications. Compared to CPLDs, FPGAs are more flexible and complex, while CPLDs offer simpler, more predictable architectures. Microcontrollers, on the other hand, are software-driven computing systems suited for sequential control tasks but cannot match the […]

India’s autonomous future will not arrive overnight, and it will not look like anyone else’s. But step by step, through semi-autonomy, smart policy, and local innovation, AI can make Indian roads safer while still keeping humans firmly in the driver’s seat. Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from its early role in mobile robot navigation to […]

What if the smartest part of a product is not the product itself but the tiny subsystem quietly making decisions and talking back? Designing the future becomes an exercise in coordinating many small, purposeful minds rather than relying on one central core. I learned to drive early, earlier than was probably legal, and I learned […]

With the rampant spread of AI (and the hype), tech stocks were bound to crash at some point – a jolt to make the industry rethink and reshape itself. Recent releases from Anthropic simply became the inflection point, a worthy one nonetheless. The unveiling of Claude Cowork, which extends the benefits of the hugely popular […]

Software-defined radio is transforming test and measurement by replacing rigid hardware with adaptable software, enabling faster development, broader standards coverage, and future-proof performance. The test and measurement (T&M) landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the relentless evolution of wireless technologies. Keeping pace with the proliferation of standards (5G NR, Wi-Fi 6/7, Bluetooth LE, […]

Summary: Embedding EAS and printed RFID tags into T-shirts is turning everyday apparel into smart, secure, and traceable wearables. Beyond retail theft prevention, these garments enable contactless access, attendance tracking, crowd management, authenticity verification, and real-time inventory across events, offices, schools, and public spaces. With benefits like reduced theft, near-perfect inventory accuracy, improved user experience, […]

While AI reshapes energy storage, human innovation remains central, intelligent batteries, machine learning, and smart energy systems combine to enable a cleaner, more reliable, and smarter future. AI is transforming how we anticipate battery performance and prevent failures. Digital twins and prognostic models deliver detailed insights into a battery’s behaviour and lifespan, and machine learning […]

Can countries truly secure their semiconductor future, which is not a mere component anymore? In this pursuit, RISC-V seems to be the turning point, returning technological control to national hands. How is it reshaping innovation, sovereignty, and global computing? Semiconductors are no longer just components; they are the backbone of national security, technological leadership, and […]

If generative AI is the management consultant, agentic AI is the manager who rolls up its sleeves and gets the work done. But what will be its impact as people continue to adopt these advancements? This question framed a lively panel discussion in the session ‘Autonomous Agents: What’s Ready, Who’s Ready, and Are You Ready?’ […]

Can India turn smart cockpits into a manufacturing advantage? As automotive displays become mission-critical, a rare window opens to localise technology, skills, and policy into a global display ecosystem. Automotive displays, once niche and premium, are now central to vehicle experience, safety, and brand differentiation, spanning instrument clusters, infotainment systems, ADAS interfaces, and heads-up displays. […]

Is an AI PC just a normal laptop or desktop pre-loaded with AI apps? Or does it have some special hardware in it? Let us find out… From appliances and buildings to yachts and zoos, suddenly, the entire world has become artificial intelligence (AI) powered. But hardly a handful of these are really AI-enabled, the […]
