Across the industrial, ProAV, automotive, and other key sectors, we are seeing businesses turn their attentions toward converged networking for integrating IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology). These are integral to support realtime applications and optimized operations. Combining wired and wireless connectivity with enhancements for deterministic and realtime performance, converged networks allow for easy integration and co-existence of device types and applications with mixed-criticality requirements. TSN (time sensitive networking) standards define capabilities to enable converged networks where time-critical data is delivered seamlessly to different devices with determinism, co-existing with other traffic types on the same network. As a result,…

NASA launched a free-flying robotic system, Astrobee, on the ISS (Intl. Space Station) in 2018, which assists astronauts with repair and maintenance. Since that time, we have seen the rise of space robotics, which could continue to see significant growth in the years ahead. Space robotics functions can vary, depending on the robot. Some include detailed spacecraft inspection, efficient servicing of satellites, precise component assembly, and reliable refueling of spacecraft, just to name a few. Here is how this can help: Reduce the amount of time astronauts spend on routine duties. Serve as a research platform. Lead to greater innovation…
