POC to Prototype
Welcome to Unisem
If you are here, it means that you have taken your idea ahead and built a Proof Of Concept.
While a POC demonstrates the functionality and feasibility of the idea, a Prototype needs to be built before taking it to market.
A Prototype consists of the components that will actually be present in the production version and gives an idea of the cost of production of the final product.
Unisem can build a prototype from the system block diagram of the application.
Our experienced engineers will also help optimize the design to lower the cost of production.
PCB Design tools for free
Do you need a free PCB design software or tool to put in practice the new electronic project you’ve just designed? So, we present you 10 of the best PCB software tools available on the internet that will help you to develop your printed circuit board faster and with ease.
Altium

ARE YOU PLANNING FOR FPGA IN YOUR DESIGN
Are you new to FPGAs Please find below video tutorials to walk you through FPGAs and how you can achieve your goal with FPGAs
Remember, you are not alone out there. Crazy people around the world have gone and created cool things! Here are some of them. Watch the videos to get inspired and super charged!
Robot Vision
Mateusz Dziedzic a final year student of automation and robotics at the Poznan University of Technology in Poland. This video is made by him to present project Robot-Vision which take part in Toradex Challenge global competition.
Robot-Vision is a system which calculate objects real position based on readings from camera. Also system allow for color and size object identification and classification. Data about objects can be delivered to a robot to create random placed objects managing applications. System is based on Toradex Colibri T20 computer on module which is the main processing unit of the system.
In this you will find quick system overview and result of final application where industrial robot use data from Robot-Vision in order to sort randomly placed objects
Home Automation
Jonathan is founder of multiple tech startups including Internet Vision Technologies and Freetronics, and author of various books including “Practical Arduino”, “How To Build A Website And Stay Sane”, “Ubuntu Hacks”, and “Quickstart Guide to Google AdWords”. He has presented more than 100 technical papers and tutorials at IT conferences around the world.
In August 2013 two satellites were deployed into Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) containing payload electronics designed by Jonathan.
He is also one of the first people in the world to have had an RFID microchip surgically implanted under his skin so that he never has to carry keys, and is past President of Linux Australia, one of the largest Free/Open Source Software associations in the world. In these series of videos he explains how he has automated his house with a light weight system architecture to achieve it.
Learn Robotics
Richard Grimmett has always been fascinated by computers and electronics from his very first programming project that used Fortran on punch cards. He has a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Leadership Studies. He also has 26 years of experience in the Radar and Telecommunications industries, and even has one of the original brick phones. He now teaches Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Brigham Young University – Idaho where his office is filled with many of his robotics projects.
In the below webcast Dr. Richard Grimmett provides both motivation and direction that begins with the unpacking of the BeagleBone Black, the brain of the system, and continues all the way through adding hardware to provide a fully functional, walking, talking, listening, seeing robot. We’ll also touch on advanced topics, such as how to communicate with your robots wirelessly and how to add GPS. Then, you’ll learn how to integrate all of this functionality so that you can construct impressive robotics projects that can roll, walk, sail, fly, and explore under the water.
