Microsoft's October 2019 Event saw the company unveiling a large range of new Surface devices.

Some other big announcements include Surface Laptop 3, Surface Pro 7, Surface Earbuds, Surface Neo, Surface Pro X and Surface Duo.

The 13-inch Surface Laptop 3 comes with the latest 10th-generation quad-core processors from Intel, while the 15-inch model comes with a custom AMD Ryzen 7 processor, or as Microsoft calls it, "Ryzen 7 Surface Edition".

Atmel is bidding auf wiedersehen to Embedded World 2014 in Nuremberg, Germany.

During the show, Atmel announced and showcased a number of new products to drive smart, connected devices in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT) including:

Newark’s latest ARM-based Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained evaluation kit

Fresh lineup of AVR devices

After crafting a machine last year that soared around like a herring gull, it certainly deserves just as much attention for the work they're doing with robotics.Now the company has created BionicOpter. The 17.3-inch long dragonfly drone can flutter through the air in any direction, and even hover, just like its biological inspiration. Its four carbon fiber and foil wings beat up to 20 times per-second, propelling it through the air as if it were swimming rather than flying. Actually piloting the robo-bug is achieved through a smartphone app, but an on-board ARM-based microcontroller makes small adjustments to ensure stability during flight. There are a few important pieces of information we don't have just yet. For one, it's not clear how long the two-cell lithium ion battery will last, and pricing or availability are missing from the brochure. Thankfully you can at least see this marvel of engineering in action after the break.
