Research on enabling machines to have vision, hearing, and the ability to distinguish objects and recognize voices has yielded many results in the wave of artificial intelligence. In fact, giving machines a sense of smell is also a topic of interest for many researchers. In June 2018, researchers from Loughborough University and Western General Hospital … Read more
Quin, a company specializing in accident detection, has produced a series of motorcycle helmet products. Since 2018, the company has been applying “sensor fusion and software” technology in helmets, and has also implemented this technology in some ABUS bicycle helmets. Quin claims that its proprietary technology can detect accidents and trigger emergency responses, while MIPS … Read more
The ECU, or Electronic Control Unit, can be understood as the vehicle’s computer. It is a microcomputer controller specifically designed for automobiles, consisting of a microprocessor (CPU), memory (ROM, RAM), input/output interfaces (I/O), analog-to-digital converters (A/D), and large-scale integrated circuits for shaping and driving. The working principle of the ECU is to collect various operational … Read more
