Zettascale Designs Zenoh To Transcend Dds For Automotive, Ros Communications

Listen to this articleZenoh is middleware designed to enable scalable data communication across technologies. Source: ZettaScale. While multiple industries could benefit from mobile robots, the standard Data Distribution Service or DDS middleware has difficulty keeping up in wireless environments, according to ZettaScale Technology Ltd. This limits communications and scalability, said the U.K.-based company. ZettaScale has developed the Zenoh protocol, which it said provides robust communication in dynamic environments for vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and robots. In 2022, the company spun out of DDS research and development for traffic control in aerospace and military applications, explained Angelo Corsaro, chief technology officer and CEO of ZettaScale

O-M-G! 100 More Captivating Columns

by Amelia DaltonI simply cannot believe that I recently penned and posted my three hundredth column here at EEJournal. I think my columns average out at around 1,500 words apiece, which means we are talking about (pause while I launch my calculator app) 450,000 words!The really sad thing is that when I was 16 years old circa 1973, my dear old mom did everything but beg me to do two things: (1) Learn to touch type and (b) Learn to use Pitman Shorthand.Mum was a blackbelt at both. In the case of typing, I think she ran around 90 words-per-minute. With respect to Pitman, she cruised along at 170 words-per-minute. She once went to Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), which is a cycle of four German-language epic music dramas composed by Richard Wagner that are often played over four consecutive evenings. On one of the evenings, she took the entire opera down in Pitman shorthand
