When should tech entrepreneurs showcase their product prototypes?

The timely acquisition of financial resources is imperative for new ventures. However, technology ventures often suffer from concerns about their viability and thus struggle to acquire external funding. Developing and demonstrating a product prototype is a mechanism that can help these ventures to demonstrate technological feasibility and galvanize the resources they need. Yet, according to Read more about When should tech entrepreneurs showcase their product prototypes?[…]

New technology that senses, computes and responds without any centralized processing

Inspired by octopuses, researchers have developed a structure that senses, computes and responds without any centralized processing – creating a device that is not quite a robot and not quite a computer, but has characteristics of both. The new technology holds promise for use in a variety of applications, from soft robotics to prosthetic devices.

Bringing virtual poducts and machines to life acoustically

Fraunhofer IDMT will be presenting the findings from a research project on making the sounds of electrically powered machines, devices, or components audible during virtual product development already. New developments allow the use of 3D models to analyze, assess and improve the acoustic properties of products, instead of building costly real prototypes. What do heavy Read more about Bringing virtual poducts and machines to life acoustically[…]
