Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are rapidly evolving, driven by trends such as Automotive personalization, sustainable always-on interfaces, hygienic touchless user interfaces (UI), consistent user experience (UX) across platforms, voice activation, and Industrial automation for labor and safety needs. Regardless of their specific drivers and/or use cases, modern HMIs must be smarter and more dynamic – shifting from command-based to context-aware systems that bridge the human-machine...
Robots have rapidly evolved from science fiction into a cornerstone of modern industry. Today’s autonomous systems can execute complex tasks with minimal human oversight – transforming how we work, live, and move. But achieving this level of intelligence and reliability in real-world environments requires more than just advanced software. It demands robust hardware, deterministic processing, and scalable system architectures that can support safe, real-time decision-making under dema...
Edge AI is reshaping how machines interact with the world, bringing intelligence closer to the data source and enabling real-time, context-aware decision-making. In Automotive and Industrial environments, this shift is driving smarter sensors, automation, and enhanced Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). But deploying AI at the edge comes with constraints: limited computing capacity, strict power budgets, and compact hardware footprints. In our latest LinkedIn Live panel discussion, Lattice expert...
Designing modern embedded systems often means working within tight constraints such as limited space, low power budgets, and increasing performance demands. Whether it's powering smarter factory automation, enhancing in-vehicle intelligence, or enabling low power AI at the edge, developers need flexible, efficient, and secure programmable logic solutions. This is why we’re excited to announce the expansion of our small FPGA portfolio with new additions to the Lattice Certus™-NX ...
As technology continues to rapidly advance and intersect all parts of our lives, accelerated by the recent exponential growth of AI, more and more energy is needed to power the enabling systems and datacenters. This is resulting in an increase in e-waste and production of carbon dioxide. In fact, servers and cooling systems make up the greatest share of direct electricity usage in U.S. datacenters and are one of the most carbon-intensive aspects of business today. More and more, companies are l...
There’s a lot of recent buzz around Industry 4.0, a common term used to describe the increasing digitization, automation, and connected computing intelligence that’s emerging in the manufacturing industry. With Industry 4.0, the value and capabilities of cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), secure connectivity, and AI have the potential to come together to bring about smarter, more reliable, and more efficient operations in manufacturing. However, with the rise of Industry...
In today’s highly competitive technology industry, being first to market can mean the difference between success or failure. However, getting to market fast comes with its challenges, particularly when it comes to system and application design. With the increasing proliferation of AI, Edge computing, cybersecurity threats, and automation, now more than ever, designers need the freedom to tweak and fine-tune their design’s throughout its development cycle. The components system archi...
