Adding high-performing motor drivers to MikroElektronika Fusion boards
STMicroelectronics has collaborated with MikroElektronika, an authorised ST Partner, to create four Click boards that extend the advantages of STSPIN motor drivers beyond STM32-based designs to users of MikroElektronika prototyping boards, as well as other systems containing a mikroBUS socket.
Better visibility: Robotic arm supports endoscopic surgeries
With its robotic arm Soloassist II for surgeons in hospitals, the German company AKTORmed from Regensburg makes it easier for surgeons to work with endoscopes. About 15 years ago, the transition from manual to robot-supported guidance of the surgical camera during minimally invasive procedures meant a significant improvement for the surgeon.
