Bosch exhibits its networked products for mobility and housing at CES 2020, held in Las Vegas from January 7 – 10, 2020. The stand at the Bosch booth at Central Hall 12401 includes solutions that use or are developed or produced with the help of artificial intelligence. Bosch wants artificial intelligence to be safe, robust and explainable in production, smart homes or autonomous driving.
Innovation awards were announced with the opening of CES 2020. At the CES Innovation Awards, organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which covers 28 categories, Bosch has achieved the highest score twice and received three Honor Awards. Bosch’s 3D display for cars and the Car Multimedia Systems Division received the Best Innovation award. Both innovations also won the Honor Award, while Bosch’s third Honor Award came in the field of healthcare.
3D display – third dimension in the car cockpit: The new Bosch 3D display uses passive 3D technology to create a realistic three-dimensional effect for images and warning signals. This feature reduces the driver’s distraction, enabling visual information to be grasped faster than conventional displays. In addition, this spatial-depth display system works perfectly without additional features such as eye tracking or 3D glasses.
SoundSee – smart ears for ISS (includes artificial intelligence): Almost the size of a lunch box, the Bosch SoundSee is equipped with advanced artificial intelligence. SoundSee is already in orbit and will soon be installed at the International Space Station (ISS). Located on NASA’s flying autonomous Astrobee robot, SoundSee uses integrated microphones to capture ambient sound in space and then decodes the sound with artificial intelligence-driven analysis.
Using artificial intelligence, SoundSee can analyze audio data to detect potential anomalies and report when maintenance work is needed. At the beginning of 2020, sound data captured by SoundSee will be forwarded to the NASA ground control facility at the Bosch Research Center in Pittsburgh, PA. SoundSee was developed together with Astrobotic as part of the NASA research collaboration.
Light Drive smart glasses: Information always in front of you: Bosch Sensortec offers the Light Drive smart glasses, the world’s first solution to make a normal glasses smart. The integrated projection system consists of MEMS mirrors, optical elements, sensors and an intelligent software connection. Light Drive smart glasses are one third thinner than the solutions available on the market and weigh only 10 grams. The images reflected in the person’s field of view are reflected in crystal clear even in sunlight. Images projected from the user’s smartphone and watch; navigation information, SMS messages, calendar entries and operating messages.
In-car tracking system: Safety, comfort and comfort for everyone in the car (includes artificial intelligence): Based on eyelid movements, direction of view and sitting position, this vehicle interior tracking system detects when the driver comes to sleep or when the driver looks at his smartphone warns against. It also monitors the interior to determine how many people are inside and where they live. This makes it possible to optimize the deployment of safety systems such as airbags in an emergency.
Moreover, the system increases the comfort and convenience of people in the vehicle. For example; automatically activates stored personal settings such as seat position. In the future, the vehicle tracking system will be an indispensable partner, as vehicles will be in partial autonomous driving mode on certain parts of the journey, such as highways. The camera will allow the driver to take over the steering wheel safely.
Bosch IoT Shuttle: The future of mobility: In the future, mobility service providers will use more service vehicles to provide on-demand vehicle calling, whether for road transport or passenger transport. At CES, Bosch uses the company’s IoT Shuttle technology to showcase solutions offered to car manufacturers and mobility service providers in the electrification, automation, connectivity and personalization of service vehicles. Bosch goes beyond hardware products by providing seamless networked mobility services that provide users with the flexibility to operate, manage, recharge and maintain fleet vehicles and make every journey safe.
Intelligent front camera: Understands what it sees with computer vision and artificial intelligence (includes artificial intelligence): This camera detects objects, categorizes them into classes such as vehicles, pedestrians or bicycles and measures their movement. The camera is also capable of interpreting what it sees to make the distinction between lane and lawn or roadside structures, even in the absence of road signs.
Camera even in clogged city traffic; it can also quickly and reliably detect and classify vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists that are partially ambiguous or crossing. This feature allows the vehicle to trigger a warning or emergency brake. Based on Bosch’s technical expertise, this camera intelligence was developed by integrating it into a chip known as the V3H by the Japanese Renesas company. This technology also improves existing drive assistance systems and increases application ranges. For example; the intelligent front camera can also improve automatic emergency braking systems to prevent vehicles from hitting various types of animals.
Radar sensors – environmental sensors for complex driving situations: The latest generation of Bosch radar sensors captures the vehicle’s surroundings better, even in bad weather or poor light conditions. High sensing range, wide aperture and high angular resolution mean that automatic emergency brake systems can react more reliably.
Fully autonomous valet parking: jointly developed by Bosch and Daimler, it is the first SAE Level 4 system in Germany to be officially approved for daily use. Bosch provides the sensors and communication technology of the car park infrastructure. By the end of 2021, about a dozen more car parks are expected to be equipped with autonomous valet parking. Bosch works with car park operators and developers of major real estate projects.
On-board computer: Next generation electronic architecture: One of the keys to the future of networked, autonomous and electrical mobility is the electronic architecture of vehicles. The new, high-performance vehicle control units will make vehicles much more powerful in the future, reducing the number of ECUs, reducing the weight of the vehicle as well as the complexity of the interaction between parts and systems. From the beginning of 2020, Bosch on-board computers will increase the computing power by 1,000 times. The company is currently working on computers of this type to combine the functions of autonomous driving, powertrain and infotainment systems and driver assistance systems.
Perfectly keyless – Smartphone instead of car key: In the future, Perfectly keyless will use not only Bluetooth for communication between the car and the smartphone, but also ultra-wideband (UWB), a new communication technology already available on some smartphones. The UWB enables the discovery of smartphones with a few centimeters deviation. On the other hand, it makes communication with the vehicle quite secure. Working with partners to standardize data transmission between smartphones and vehicles, Bosch is demonstrating a demo tool for the first time that Perfectly keyless uses UWB at CES.
Fuel cell system – e-mobility for long distance: Mobile fuel cell vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel produced from renewable energy can travel longer distances without carbon emissions and offer shorter fuel filling times. Together with the Swedish company Powercell, Bosch is working to commercialize fuel cell clusters. In addition to the fuel cell clusters that convert hydrogen into electrical energy, Bosch is developing all basic system components to be ready for production.
Drive chassis – Electromobility platform: Electric powertrain, steering systems, brakes… Bosch has all the cornerstones of electromobility in its portfolio. As part of a development partnership with chassis and automotive technology specialist Benteler, the company demonstrates how all Bosch products for electric vehicles can be integrated. Among other products, moving chassis help Bosch to develop products strategically to meet these requirements.
