Bosch will hold a press conference ahead of the opening of ‘CES 1’, the world’s largest IT and home appliance exhibition held in Las Vegas, USA from January 5th (Thursday) to 8th (Sunday, local time) to showcase its sensor technology. Based on this, a new vision was presented to the mobility industry.
At the event, Bosch showcased a variety of cutting-edge sensor-based innovations, including the ‘RideCare Companion Solution’, which was selected for the Best of Innovation Awards by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which hosted CES 2023. .
Bosch explained that it expects its RideCare Companion to play an important role in the safety of all vehicle occupants in the ‘connected and automated mobility’ that has recently been emphasized in the global mobility industry. Connected hardware and software solutions consisting of smart cameras, wireless SOS buttons, and cloud-based data services enable monitoring inside and outside the vehicle.
Additionally, vehicle occupants can use it to contact Bosch representatives at any time in case of an accident or other dangerous situation. In this case, a Bosch representative can diagnose the vehicle via video, understand the situation, and provide prompt assistance to the occupants. Ride Care Companion, which integrates these functions, is expected to serve as a valuable safety net, especially for taxi or ride-hailing drivers.
Off-zone collision detection also ensures greater safety on the road. This is a system that focuses on protecting vehicle occupants in the event of a side collision, which often occurs when changing lanes or crossing an intersection. New software algorithms and integrated smart sensors quickly and reliably detect the exact angle of impact in side collision situations and deploy life-saving airbags at the right time to mitigate the consequences of the accident.
“Our off-zone collision detection is a great example of how software can be used to further leverage existing hardware,” said Mike Mensuetti, President of Bosch North America. “This can create additional benefits for road transport.” .” he said.
Bosch, which has been leading the related market by developing sensors in new fields, also holds a leading position in quantum sensors. Their quantum sensors enable measurements that are approximately 1,000 times more accurate than currently commercialized MEMS sensors and enable easy and accurate diagnosis of neurological diseases, making them one of the areas of innovation that will attract attention in the coming years. In this way, the company explains that Bosch is positioning itself for the future by advancing the development of promising technologies in various fields.
Climate action and sustainability are also priorities for Bosch. The next-generation MEMS sensor that Bosch is introducing at this CES is more accurate and robust than previous models, as well as providing efficient power. For example, when the ‘BHI360’ and ‘BHI380’ inertial sensors are installed in a fitness tracker, they can be adjusted to the wearer’s individual movements, are programmable, support AI, and reduce power consumption by half.
The new BMV080 fine dust sensor, which has a space-saving design that measures fine dust concentration and pollution in the air, features a size that is up to 450 times smaller than existing products. In addition, the BMP585 barometric pressure sensor, which can measure changes in altitude at the level of a few centimeters and perform pull-ups or push-ups, consumes 85% less energy than the previous generation model and is three times more robust.
“For the future of our planet, it is essential that we all strive to live increasingly energy-efficient lives,” Bosch said. “At the same time, climate change is driving the advancement of our technologies, including sensors.”
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition, is an exhibition where you can understand the trends of the global home appliance industry at a glance. Hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 1 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 17, and has been selected as the ‘BEST OF CES’, which selects the best innovative products and technologies, and the ‘BEST OF’, which selects domestic innovative companies. ‘MADE IN KOREA’ was held. In addition, CES on-site issues were vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
