The Union budget of India proposes ‘Bharat-VISTAAR’(Virtually Integrated System to Access Agricultural Resources) – a multilingual AI tool that shall integrate the AgriStack portals and the ICAR package on agricultural practices with AI systems. Bharat-VISTAAR is expected to

Enhance farm productivity through scientific, data-backed advisory.
Improve farmer decision-making by offering personalised and timely information.
Reduce production risks by predicting and managing climate, pest, and market uncertainties.
Promote technology adoption in small and marginal farming.
Strengthen last-mile service delivery, bridging the gap between agricultural research and farm practices.

This aligns with India’s broader goals of doubling farmers’ income, promoting climate-resilient agriculture, and building a digitally empowered rural …

Xsens has announced a major capability upgrade for its industrial-grade Xsens Sirius and Xsens Avior inertial measurement units (IMUs). The new Heave feature delivers centimeter-level vertical displacement measurement, enabling real-time stabilization and wave compensation in a wide range of marine applications.

Marine engineers can now access comprehensive motion data such as  roll, pitch, yaw and Heave from a single compact sensor. This eliminates the need for external processing or for oversized tactical-grade systems while maintaining the precision required for offshore platforms, vessels, docking systems, marine robots, buoys and surveying equipment.

The Heave output …

Swift Navigation has announced that it is collaborating with NVIDIA to enable a more scalable, cost-effective approach to autonomous driving by integrating the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform with Swift’s globally referenced, centimeter-accurate GNSS positioning.

Mass-market autonomy has been hindered by reliance on expensive, compute-heavy optical sensors for absolute localization. This traditional approach drives up hardware costs and creates reliability failure points, particularly in the absence of clear lane markings or when rain, snow, or direct sunlight, blind optical sensors.
Swift Navigation solves this by offloading absolute localization to the Global Navigation Satellite …

Quectel Wireless Solutions, an end-to-end global IoT solutions provider, today announces the launch of the world’s first 5G-advanced (5G-A) automotive-grade cellular module, the AR588MA, establishing it as the industry’s highest-performing and most reliable wireless communication product for vehicles.

Based on MediaTek’s latest-generation MT2739 platform, the AR588MA supports 5G-A communication technology and is the world’s first to comply with the 3GPP R18 standard protocol. The module also features both NB-NTN and NR-NTN satellite communication capabilities, supports Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) technology, offering improved stability and reliability on cellular connections and includes …
