What are the Key Engineering Challenges in Autonomous Docking Systems and How are they Solved? (Part 2)
This blog post was originally published at e-con Systems’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of e-con Systems. Designing an ROS 2-based autonomous docking system is only half the story. Deploying it in the real world is another matter entirely. Since real industrial environments don’t cooperate with textbook assumptions, understanding these challenges will help
Seeing the Invisible: How Advanced AFEs Give Robots True Self Awareness
This blog post was originally published at NXP Semiconductors’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of NXP Semiconductors. If cameras, LiDAR and IMUs are a robot’s eyes and inner ear, then precision analog measurement is its “sense of self”, the quiet awareness of currents, strains and temperatures that tell you how the machine

Yole Group has released Automotive Semiconductor Trends 2026, a new market report examining how electrification, advanced driver-assistance systems, centralized computing and software-defined vehicle architectures are reshaping the automotive semiconductor industry. Yole forecasts that the market will more than double from $77 billion in 2025 to $160 billion in 2031, representing a compound annual growth rate
What Quality Managers Get Wrong Before a Single Camera is Installed
This blog post was originally published at Lincode’s website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Lincode. The pilot looked great. Detection rates were strong, the demo impressed leadership, and the vendor was confident. Then it hit real production. Variable lighting, inconsistent line speeds, legacy equipment that wouldn’t talk to modern software, and operators who
Reinventing Belt Monitoring: How AI Detects Damage Before Failure
This blog post was originally published at Renesas’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of Renesas. In industrial motor-driven systems, belts play a critical role in enabling the smooth and efficient transfer of mechanical power between rotating elements. These components connect two shafts, one driven by a motor and the other powered through a
How Robot Fleets achieve Full Mission Autonomy – From ROS 2 Autonomous Docking to Self-Charging (Part 1)
This blog post was originally published at e-con Systems’ website. It is reprinted here with the permission of e-con Systems. True operational autonomy requires more than mapping since robots have stringent expectations to meet. They must manage their own energy, return to charge when needed, and resume their missions without human intervention. e-con Systems has developed
