💻 12 common attacks on embedded systems
Interesting article that sums up the most popular attack types on embedded systems.
Software-based attacks: target the brains of the system — the application that manages the devices. A successful attack on software allows a hacker to access data or gain control over an embedded system. Searching for vulnerabilities in software design and code is the most popular vector of attack because it’s possible to conduct such an attack remotely.
Network-based attacks: exploits network infrastructure vulnerabilities and can also be performed remotely. Using these vulnerabilities, hackers can listen for, intercept, and modify traffic transmitted by an embedded system.
Side-channel attacks: intend to use hardware security flaws in embedded systems to hack them. A side-channel attack is the hardest and most expensive type of attack, as it requires precise knowledge of the hardware design and physical availability of the target system.

🤖 This flying AI robot can pick fruit – preventing waste in the process
Tevel Aerobotics Technologies, has invented a flying autonomous robot (FAR) which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and pick fruit. The robot can work 24 hours a day and picks only ripe fruit.
The innovation was a direct response to labour shortages. “There are never enough hands available to pick fruit at the right time and the right cost. Fruit is left to rot in the orchard or sold at a fraction of its peak value, while farmers lose billions of dollars each year,” the company says.
The FAR robot uses AI perception algorithms to locate fruit trees and vision algorithms to find the fruit among the foliage and classify its size and ripeness. The robot then works out the best way to approach the fruit and remain stable as its picking arm grasps the fruit.

📰 Embedded Vision Sees a Bright Future
Driven by advances in sensors, processors and software, embedded vision is going everywhere – from agriculture to factories, and from autonomous vehicles to professional sports. Even the Covid-19 pandemic has served to accelerate its deployment with vision systems being used in applications like public surveillance, health and safety inspection.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining momentum in embedded vision and image processing applications as developers increasingly apply deep learning and neural networks to improve object detection and classification.
With an increased ease-of-use, lower prices, and smaller devices that fit into existing machineries, embedded vision will be more accessible for smaller companies that haven’t used embedded vision before.

🔋 Cement-Based Batteries May Turn Buildings Into Massive Power Storage Facilities
Chalmers University of Technology (CUT) presented a new cement-based battery that could form the building blocks of entire structures to store energy harvested by renewables.
The CUT team's concrete-based battery does, indeed, have a relatively strong performance. The researchers said that tests showed the battery has an energy density of 7 Wh per square meter of material (or 0.8 Watthours per liter) — 10 times more than previous concrete battery solutions.
The CUT team did note that their research is in its very early stages. One issue that will have to be resolved, for example, is the fact that concrete buildings have an incredibly long lifespan, not matched by batteries.
Despite the drawbacks, the CUT team has already envisioned use cases for concrete battery storage.

🥦 The Future of Farming Is Inside This Bomb Shelter
Deep beneath the streets of London, in a complex of bomb shelters left abandoned since World War II, thousands of green sprouts are being grown from seed without soil or sunlight, in tunnels transformed into a high-tech commercial farm.
Above each growing bench is a round, yellow sensor the size of a large coin that records temperature, humidity, and illumination, and sends the data to the University of Cambridge’s engineering department. The results are fed back to GU, which compares them with the crop yields to determine which conditions are working best for growth.
In the past five years that the farm has been operating, technology has improved a lot—more efficient LED lighting, water recycling, and air management systems.

🤖 An Introductory Robot Programming Tutorial
In this article, I’m going to show how to use a Python robot framework to develop control software, describe the control scheme I developed for my simulated robot, illustrate how it interacts with its environment and achieves its goals, and discuss some of the fundamental challenges of robotics programming that I encountered along the way.
In order to follow this tutorial on robotics programming for beginners, you should have a basic knowledge of two things:
▫️ Mathematics—we will use some trigonometric functions and vectors.
▫️ Python—since Python is among the more popular basic robot programming languages—we will make use of basic Python libraries and functions.
The snippets of code shown here are just a part of the entire simulator, which relies on classes and interfaces, so in order to read the code directly, you may need some experience in Python and object oriented programming.
