Soracom, a subsidiary of KDDI, announced that it has incorporated generative AI capabilities into its cellular IoT connectivity and services platform. The company introduced two new services to help IoT developers with more complex IoT deployments. These are Soracom Flux and Query Intelligence. The first is a low-code application builder that allows non-technical users to build AI solutions by defining data flows between sensors, cameras, actuators, the generative AI engine, and the cloud. The second simplifies the management of large-scale IoT deployments with natural language network data analytics. “We have always envisioned an IoT where connected devices can interact with…

In its latest budget, India introduced a series of initiatives to expand its space technology capabilities and accelerate the digitalisation of key industries such as agriculture. “The global economy is performing better than expected but remains hampered by policy uncertainty,” Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said. “High asset prices, political uncertainty and shipping disruptions continue to pose significant downside risks to growth and upside risks to inflation.” Despite economic uncertainty, India is forging ahead with its digital imperative. For example, India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), a set of digital platforms and services including data exchange systems and digital payments, will…

Stress, stress and more stress: half of Dutch workers sometimes lose sleep due to stress. Besides work, there are many things in daily life that can get us down. So what if we could escape for a moment into the alpine landscape? Psylaris, a software company based in Limburg, has developed a relaxation module based on virtual reality (VR). “Once people find peace, they work three times harder to get back on track,” says Mike Verhiel, co-founder and CEO of the company. Why this is important:VR has the potential to solve societal challenges, including mental health challenges. When we think…

The PSoC 6 AI Evaluation Kit performs inference next to the sensor data source, improving real-time performance and power efficiency compared to cloud-centric solution architectures. Its 35mm x 45mm form factor, affordable price and wide range of integrated sensors and connectivity make it ideal for in-field data collection, rapid prototyping, model evaluation and solution creation. The kit also leverages Infineon’s MCU, sensor and connectivity portfolio and software development environment, including Infineon ModusToolbox and the company’s Imagimob Studio products for custom ML models, as well as off-the-shelf Ready Models. “Our latest evaluation kit provides access to a complete, easy-to-use ecosystem of…

Hacking (at least the kind of hacking that breaks in) is very much a skill you learn by doing. There’s no substitute for hands-on experience. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn by watching. Exploiting the root password on a cheap IP video camera is a great way to get a good grasp on the basics. The background to this project is [Matt Brown] Previously, he had disassembled a VStarcam CB73 security camera, a generic IP camera he’d acquired cheaply, identified the flash memory chip and extracted the firmware. His first goal was to see if the camera was connecting…
