As Tim Cook wraps up his final day as CEO of Apple, he is regarded as a genius of product and process execution. That achievement includes the company's transition to Apple-designed silicon, fulfilled across the Mac line by 2023, one example of Apple's in-house silicon family.

The broad industry trend of designing and fabricating processors that combine support for sensors and AI intelligence at the edge continues at a fast clip. There are regular, seemingly monthly, vendor announcements.

Some people don't like everything vision sensors are used for. Vision and imaging sensors are commonly deployed in various cameras, from consumer brands to industrial and surveillance products and even by NASA.

Tesla is holding a Cybercab launch event in Austin, Texas, on Thursday, which is widely expected to be a formal debut of its purpose-built robotaxi.

Tesla's reveal of the purpose-built, “gleaming gold” Cybercab in Austin, Texas, leaves many questions, but wowed gearheads at the private event with new tech. Electric braking for one.

Today, engineers and regulators and customers don’t agree on terms pertaining to physical AI, especially when it comes to robotics. Arm knows it and is trying to do something about it.

Sensor fusion is technology of opportunity. Sensors have recently been directly connected, or fused, to central CPUs, servers, even the Electronic Control Unit of a vehicle.

Apple CEO John Ternus introduced the “transformational” iPhone Duo foldable smartphone in a streamed reveal that raised analyst concerns about the $1,999 price tag. But the event also gave Apple a chance to share exciting new sensor and A20 silicon advances.

Analog Devices announced it will acquire Alif Semiconductor for $1.35 billion, all cash, in another industry bid to beef up physical AI capabilities.

Electroencephalography (EEG) systems rely on biosensors, individual metal discs that are placed on the scalp to detect tiny voltage fluctuations caused by the firing of brain neurons. They have been in medical use for more than a century and offer profound insights for medical diagnoses and, more recently, AI research.
