Today's software infused products are incredibly complex, but the challenge of connecting them to other products and back-end systems to deliver on the IoT value proposition can be overwhelming. Successful design depends on selecting the right architectures.

A growing number of advanced robotics applications require tight coordination of multiple systems and devices. Sensors, actuators, manipulators and mobile platforms all must communicate with each other to meet the demanding requirements of today's emerging robotics applications.

A PC is a PC, right. The answer is, it depends and not all Embedded PCs are created equal.

In the last century, transportation, medical, power, and industrial systems were built from individual devices, typically programmed one at a time. The Industrial IoT (IIoT) will change all that.

Travelling at high speed a car can create a noisy environment, making it hard to have a comfortable conversation with other occupants, especially between front and back seats. So, if the voice of the driver could be picked up by a microphone, amplified, and relayed to speakers in the back the dangerous need for the driver to twist around to shout to be heard would be eliminated.

The Internet of Your Things is not about ripping and replacing technologies in your enterprise. It's about leveraging what you have, adding on to your existing systems, using your existing things in new ways, and innovating and optimizing so everything works better together.

Certification of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software to Design Assurance Level (DAL) A will be a game changer for the avionics industry. Thanks to developments such as OpenGL SC 2.

A growing population and expanding global activities continue to put Earth's resources under pressure, and today many businesses face social, economic, and legislative pressures to make our future not only better, but greener. The Internet of Things (IoT) is bridging the physical and digital worlds, with new solutions that bring significant environmental benefits for people, businesses, and the planet.

In the embedded space, developers need time to learn how to use, build, and run Linux on embedded platforms. And, it takes time, effort, and money to continuously maintain a Linux distribution with support, patches, and security vulnerability protection for your OS and application code.
