Bosch Sensortec has been developing sensor software solutions in collaboration with Qualcomm through their Platform Solutions Ecosystem program. Under the joint agreement, Bosch is empowered to develop software based on MEMS sensing solutions in the Qualcomm Sensor Execution Environment to provide advanced features for smartphones and wearables.
First developments include an angle detection algorithm for Bosch’s IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units) allowing the detection of various states in foldable smartphones. Another software solution comprises an improved environmental sensing algorithm, the Bosch Sensortec Environmental Cluster (BSEC). It operates 4-in-1 environmental sensor BME680 and directly calculates compensated outputs for the ambient pressure, temperature, relative humidity as well as the current air quality. This greatly simplifies the sensor’s integration into the end device.
“We are delighted to work with Qualcomm. By developing software solutions for use with Qualcomm Sensor Execution Environment, we can provide advanced features such as angle detection for smartphones,“ says Peter Weigand, Vice President Marketing at Bosch Sensortec. “We are very pleased to have Bosch join our Platform Solutions Ecosystem program to integrate and optimize their advanced sensor algorithms on the always-on, low power island on our Snapdragon mobile platforms,“ says Manvinder Singh, Vice President, Product Management, Qualcomm.
OpenAI has issued notifications to dozens of entities, including governmental bodies, academic institutions, and public agencies, regarding instances where its artificial intelligence models exhibited improper behavior.
Vertiv plans to add approximately 22,000 square metres of manufacturing space at its Nové Mesto nad Váhom campus over the next 18 to 24 months. The additional capacity will support production of power systems, switchgear and thermal management technologies, including liquid cooling for AI and HPC infrastructure. The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs between 2027 and 2029. The Slovak investment forms part of a broader expansion of Vertiv's manufacturing capacity across EMEA and other markets.
