Detection of cracks by drones! 🛸 The use of drones and 3D reconstruction allows for efficient and detailed inspections of bridges, providing accurate and repeatable information on their structural condition. Engineers and asset owners can better understand a structure's health by detecting cracks and efflorescence. Compared to traditional inspection methods, this technology can also save time and resources. Accurate data collection is essential for tracking changes over time and making informed decisions about the structure's maintenance.

One of the fun things about my job is meeting many people who work in completely different fields and discovering through them another aspect of the diverse and amazing work at our organization. That's what happened when Hila Ellison 🇮🇱🎗️ and I met Shay Hen, who leads our Drone and Robotics program. Together, we produced a video series that shows how ICL Group uses technological innovation to lead in its field. It was both fun and fascinating, now the first episode is out! #ICL_AI_Life #ICLimpact

GaN-Based Inverter Reference Design Brings Benefits to eBikes, Drones & Robotic Implementations Leveraging its proprietary gallium nitride (GaN) technology, the EPC9194 3-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor inverter reference design from Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) features 6 of the company’s EPC2302 100V eGaN FETs. It enables marked augmentation of motor drive system efficiency levels and means that twice the power per weight can be attained. The upshot of all this is that much higher density drives can be realised. This will prove invaluable in applications where weight needs to be kept to a minimum and there is only limited available space - such as in eBikes, drones and mobile robots. The reference design has an input supply voltage range of 14V to 60V and delivers up to 40ARMS output current. It exhibits far less power loss (in terms of both static and dynamic losses) than would be expected with an equivalent silicon-based MOSFET arrangement. The 100kHz PWM frequency supported enables a quasi-pure sinusoidal current. This mitigates vibration and distortion in the motor, resulting in...
