  • MOON ROVERS: POWERING THE FUTURE OF LUNAR EXPLORATION

    MOON ROVERS: POWERING THE FUTURE OF LUNAR EXPLORATION
    Nov 13 2024
    Tiny but mighty – shoebox-sized rovers might soon explore the moon’s surface. But how do they keep their batteries charged in the harsh lunar wilderness? According to Bosch engineer Vivek Jain, it’s not as simple as your vacuum cleaner bot docking at its charging station. One of many reasons: the robot has limited vision. Join our hosts Shuko and Geoff as they explore what it’s like to develop cutting-edge technology for a space mission!

  • NEW MATTER COMMUNICATION STANDARDS FOR YOUR SMART HOME

    NEW MATTER COMMUNICATION STANDARDS FOR YOUR SMART HOME
    Oct 16 2024
    "Close the door!" If you're saying that to your voice assistant instead of your housemates, you have a smart home. But which manufacturer's smart home devices are you using, and do they talk to each other? That question may be less relevant in the future, thanks to a relatively new standard called Matter. Bosch expert Michael Zuegel has been busy making our smart home products Matter-ready. He shares his insights on the technology with hosts Shuko and Melena. They also talk to Youtuber Chris West, who maintains a complex smart home setup with automations that make life easier - except when they go wrong. Now tell your voice assistant, "Play the episode!"

  • BOSCH ICON: ROBERT BOSCH

    BOSCH ICON: ROBERT BOSCH
    Sep 11 2024
    Switching it up! This episode, we’re talking about a person - one person in particular, our company’s founder Robert Bosch. Our host Geoff, a self-declared Bosch fanboy, sits down with Dietrich Kuhlgatz, Director Historical Communications at Bosch. Dietrich brings some treasures, including a diary and actual sound bites from Robert Bosch himself. Meanwhile, co-host Melena has a closer look at the device that was the “big bang” for Bosch, the ignition magneto. This first Bosch bestseller provided the foundation for what the company is today. But what is it?

    VEHICLE MOTION MANAGEMENT PART 2
    Aug 14 2024
    Ready for another round? In the second part of our double feature on Vehicle Motion Management, Melena pretends to encounter a moose on the test track, while Shuko gets technical about by-wire technology as one of the enablers of software-controlled vehicle actuators such as brakes, dampers or steering, which can be optimally controlled with the help of Vehicle Motion Management. Bosch expert Philipp Debes performs vigorous maneuvers to demonstrate how this technology helps stabilize vehicles while giving the driver improved control. Bosch product owner Enrico Haberkern returns to discuss how Vehicle Motion Management also has the potential to increase efficiency. Buckle up!

  • VEHICLE MOTION MANAGEMENT PART 1

    VEHICLE MOTION MANAGEMENT PART 1
    Jul 10 2024
    Aaaaand stop! Ugh, do you know that jolt in your body just before a braking car comes to a complete standstill? That's a thing of the past: Bosch engineers have made it disappear. They use an EV's electric drive to provide extremely smooth, software-controlled braking. This feature, called e-brake to zero, is just one example of how algorithms can improve the driving experience. While Melena tries it out on a test track with Bosch expert Thomas Friedrich, Shuko and Bosch product owner Enrico Haberkern see what else Vehicle Motion Management can do. The core idea is that a driving task is no longer performed by a single actuator, but by an intelligent combination of actuators. Let's get started!

    ORIGIFY
    Jun 12 2024
    Fake! Or is it? It's getting harder and harder to tell if something is real or not. This applies not only to images or facts, but also to physical goods such as consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals, or luxury watches. Bosch engineer Louis Tepper is part of a team that has developed a solution: Origify is able to scan and recognize the surface of an item based on a simple smartphone image. Melena and Shuko test it. In the process, they learn a lot about the luxury and vintage watch industry. They meet a young Danish watchmaker, Rune Bakkendorff, who builds watches from scratch. Origify, it turns out, could not only help consumers identify counterfeit products, but also help experts authenticate spare parts or industry identify parts too small for serial numbers or QR codes. What time is it? Time to listen to this episode! www.linkedin.com/showcase/bosch-origify EN: www.bosch-origify.com DE: www.bosch-origify.com/de

    DEEP DIVE: HOW GENERATIVE AI CAN HELP DRIVING A CAR
    May 29 2024
    Generative AI or large vision-language models can improve advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in various ways. Dr. Liu Ren of Bosch Research in Sunnyvale, California, explains how foundation models can help label training data and analyze a bird’s eye view representation of a car’s various data sources to improve the functional performance of ADAS.
