Robot octopus shows off new sculls (video)

octopus_swim.jpg

Octopi are pro swimmers, thanks (at least in part) to that octet of arms they’ve got going on. They’ve adopted a particular swimming gait called sculling, which works great for them, but until they start publishing scientific papers, we’re missing out on all of their gait testing data. Roboticists have had to start from scratch, and along the way, they’ve experimented with some swimming gaits that we’ve never seen a real octopus try and pull off.

How MediaTek Optimizes SI Design with Cadence Optimality Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In the era of 5G/6G communication, signal integrity (SI) design considerations are important in high-speed interface design. MediaTek’s design process usually relies on human intuition, but with Cadence’s Optimality Intelligent System Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver, they’ve increased design productivity by 75X. The Optimality Explorer’s AI technology not only improves productivity, but also provides helpful insights and answers.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
