While generative AI has dominated much of the technology debate in recent years, the next major phase of development may increasingly involve AI systems that can perceive, interact with and act in the physical world. The IEEE’s new Technology Megatrends 2030 report identifies physical AI and robotics as one of the areas with the greatest […]

These special conditions are issued for the ATR-GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional (ATR) Model ATR42-500 and ATR72-212A airplanes. These airplanes will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport-category airplanes. This design feature is the installation of a digital system that contains a wireless and hardwired network with hosted application functionality that allows access, from sources internal to the airplane, to the airplane's internal electronic components. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

Commissioning a robotic production cell requires coordinated testing across robot controls, drives, safety functions, field devices, and plant networks. A robotic cell can run cleanly during a shop demonstration and still lose hours when it reaches the plant. The robot may be ready while a drive uses the wrong parameter set. A sensor can change […]
