Tenth Annual RoboGames, the world’s largest robot competition

by Larra Morris

The world’s largest robot competition (described as the “Olympics of Robots”), the International RoboGames, is celebrating its tenth year in 2013. Organizers Simone Davalos and David Calkins “invite the best minds from around the world to compete in over 50 different events: combat robots, fire-fighters, LEGO bots, hockey bots, walking humanoids, soccer bots, sumo bots, and even androids that do kung-fu.” RoboGames 2013 takes place in San Mateo, California at the San Mateo County Expo Center from Friday to Sunday, April 19-21 and tickets are available to purchase online now.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

GaN for Humanoid Robots

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
