Embedded Computing Design

The industrial robotics landscape is continually evolving in response to increasing demands. Today’s modern robots must meet the requirements and continuous needs for smaller, more compact solutions in space-constrained environments, reliable system memory with high-performance operation that minimizes excessive energy consumption, and solutions that can react faster and make optimized decisions in safety-critical environments.

San Diego, CA, 2 December 2025 – Taoglas, a trusted provider of advanced RF and antenna solutions, today announced the expansion of its embedded antenna portfolio with a new range of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) chip antennas optimized for Wi-Fi 6/7, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and ISM connectivity. The new ILA.257, ILA.68, and ILA.89 deliver ideal performance in ultra-compact packages - with minimal keep out area - designed for next-generation IoT, consumer, industrial, and wearable applications where space, efficiency, and reliability are critical.

Ottawa, Canada – TeleCANesis announced an embedded software environment for teams developing smart industrial, medical, and mobility products. The solution is designed to help interconnect system nodes using standardized communication interfaces and protocols, and is built on the QNX Operating System (OS), a high-performance, real-time operating system designed for mission-critical embedded systems like those within robotics, medical devices, industrial controls, and more. 

Today’s industrial power solutions are faced with the demands of performing low-power operations while also meeting energy-efficient goals. These solutions must operate in varying rugged environments that require continuous operation, wide temperature ranges, and overall provide a reliable and safe power supply.

Requirements for wireless connectivity in embedded IoT and industrial environments are driven by demands for increased performance, low-cost, robust long-term operation, and efficient networking and connectivity in smart home, smart appliance, healthcare, and industrial IoT applications.

The requirements for efficient, reliable, and low-power SSD storage in space-constrained environments are evident in today’s evolving industrial landscape. These solutions must also be cost-effective, rugged, and be able to deliver high-speed performance throughout their lifetime in education, retail, and IoT markets.

Today’s modern and continuously evolving connected devices and environments, such as smart homes, industrial, wearables, and other IoT applications, require solutions that are compact, power-efficient, and provide constant and reliable wireless connectivity. These solutions benefit from simplified designs that accelerate development time, promote low latency, and provide secure connectivity on a single platform.

Deploying AI at the edge often means facing limits in power, space, and reliability. It’s critical to address these challenges and limitations by designing with processing, form factor, and resiliency at the front of mind at all phases of the process.

The conventional legacy workstations present limitations when handling modern resource-intensive simulation and AI workload, which requires high computational power and performance.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, the VP of Sales and Business Development at Gateworks Corporation, Kelly Peralta, joins me to discuss the trends, challenges, and innovations surrounding Wi-Fi HaLow for industrial and IoT applications.

Rugged construction resists vibration, dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures to ensure reliable performance in harsh environments

Demanding, safety-critical applications today, such as medical equipment, imaging, factory automation and robotics, smart cities, IIoT gateways and edge appliances, and wireless infrastructure, rely on cost-optimized solutions that leverage low-power, flexible configurations, high I/O counts, and more.

Today’s evolving AI applications demand advanced performance, robust security, and flexible connectivity. These high-performance solutions must support space-saving designs in business-class, on-premises environments, and always keep efficiency and ruggedness in mind.

Industrial environments today are growing in complexity, with demands for high-performance compute at the edge. These environments need efficiency and reliability to perform accelerated AI inference and multitasking tasks for applications, such as smart manufacturing, logistics, and security applications.

Developing edge AI, machine vision, and automation applications to be deployed in harsh environments requires flexible processing, robust memory, rich I/O, and much more in order to perform efficiently at the edge. Managing the demanding workloads from these applications is becoming increasingly difficult, which is why engineers can benefit from a compact, industrial-grade system.

Booth HB143, CES Unveiled Europe, Amsterdam – October 28, 2025 – POLYN Technology announced the successful manufacturing and testing of the world’s first silicon-proven implementation of its unique NASP (Neuromorphic Analog Signal Processing) technology.

Modern AI application demand is surging and evolving to have more power in less space - challenging the traditional system design.

Today’s evolving industrial applications require support for high-performance computing and advanced AI capabilities in digital signage, kiosks, POS/POI applications, and other industrial use cases. Applications like these are often embedded within compact environments, which means that the solutions supporting them must also provide the aforementioned capabilities, including flexible connectivity, reliable power, and robust I/O options, all within a single solution.

Today’s high-performance edge AI computing systems deployed in environments such as industrial, smart cities, and retail often need to support advanced video analytics applications, from intrusion detection to real-time assistance. These functions require robust memory, advanced processing, the ability to perform in commercial conditions, and much more.
