Lithium Demand In Overdrive
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, lithium mines produced an estimated global total of 100,000 metric tons in 2021, representing a peak in production. The demand for Lithium carbonate in 2021 was estimated to be 465,000 metric tons. In 2030, demand is forecast to hit 2.1 million metric tons. With both the demand and cost …

Auto chip shortage could be easing
Several signs point to an easing of the shortages of semiconductors for automotive applications, says Semiconductor Intelligence. However, the production of light vehicles will likely remain below full potential through at least 2023. LMC Automotive’s July forecast of light vehicle production called for 81.7 million units in 2022, up 2% from 2021. LMC’s January forecast …

Mobile robotics PC has hardware time sync, and GNSS-IMU interface
Aaeon has introduced its first autonomous robot controller, with integrated hardware time synchronisation and support for an external nine-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit). Aimed at outdoor autonomous mobile robots and called RBX-I2000, “the largest improvements offered are its speed and positional accuracy,” according to the company. “By moving away from solely software-based time synchronisation, latency …
