Descrizione del progetto
Pacchetti di sensori a basso costo e a basso consumo di risorse per automobili autonome e senza conducente
L’uso della microelettronica e dei sensori (come i sensori RADAR e LiDAR) nelle auto autonome e senza conducente è essenziale. Con la prevista crescita del mercato, è necessario miniaturizzare ulteriormente e rendere più sicuri tali pacchetti di sensori. Inoltre, il peso e il consumo di energia di tali strumenti sta causando una crescente domanda di sistemi RADAR e LiDAR ad alto valore e ad alte prestazioni per sistemi avanzati di assistenza alla guida e auto robotizzate. Il progetto TINKER, finanziato dall’UE, creerà un nuovo metodo economicamente conveniente ed efficiente in termini di risorse per la produzione di pacchetti di sensori RADAR e LiDAR per l’industria automobilistica e microelettronica europea. Il metodo si basa sulla produzione additiva e sui meccanismi di controllo del feedback in linea che assicurano un’elevata produttività, flessibilità, una migliore automazione, precisione e affidabilità, nonché una significativa riduzione dei tassi di scarto.
Obiettivo
The vision of TINKER is to provide a new cost- and resource efficient pathway for RADAR and LIDAR sensor package fabrication with high throughput up to 250units/min, improved automation by 20%, improved accuracy by 50% and reliability by a factor of 100 to the European automotive and microelectronic industry via additive manufacturing and inline feedback control mechanisms.
Autonomous driving and self-driving cars represent one prominent example for the use of microelectronics and sensor, most importantly RADAR and LIDAR sensors. Their respective markets have a big potential, e.g. it is estimated that the market size of LIDAR in automotive will double itself in the next two years (within 2020 to 2022). The public awareness and the industrial need for further miniaturization of such sensor packages is the main driver of ongoing efforts in the automotive sector to be able to integrate such devices into the car body like in the bumps and head lamps instead of attaching them (e.g. on top of the car in case of LIDAR device). Safety (for the driver and others) is the most important key aspect of the automotive sector. Therefore highly-value and high performance RADAR and LIDAR systems are required for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as well as robotic cars. Current bottlenecks are relevantly large size of such sensor devices, their weight and power consumption. Since these factors are highly limited within cars, further miniaturization and improving functionality and efficient use of resources is highly demanded.
