“Embedded systems are the next frontier for the Indian software industry. According
to a report, the worldwide embedded systems market was estimated at $45.9 billion
in 2004. Expected to growth at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 14% over
the next five years, this market will reach $88 billion by 2009. ”

Driven by strong demand for consumer electronics products, embedded system market
is currently on rapid growth track. With a billion-dollar market waiting to be explored,
India is well positioned to pick up a sizeable stake of that market. What with shifting
paradigms of tight R&D budgets, managing multiple technologies, mantra of core
competencies and extended product cycles, Indian companies can well pitch for any of the global projects.

Devices Today, whether they be
automobile brakes or washing machines or audio systems or mobile phones, are becoming
increasingly "intelligent'' and autonomous. The intelligence of these devices resides
in what are called embedded systems — combinations of hardware and software mounted
on compact electronic circuit boards integrated into the devices. An embedded system
is a special-purpose computer system built into a larger device. An embedded system
is required to meet very different requirements than a general-purpose personal
computer. Two major areas of differences are cost and power consumption. The availability
of smaller, more powerful hardware such as system-on-chip and DSPs (digital signal
processors), low cost, denser memory as well as the trend towards enhanced functionality
and networking capability in devices is increasing the complexity and size of embedded
software. The scope of embedded has now gone far beyond the traditional real time
operating systems. |
|
|
The main growth drivers for embedded software in the next five years will be mobile
telecommunications, military applications and providing more intelligence and connectivity
to consumer devices. New areas are opening up like autonomous robots with embedded
programming for personal use.
|
 |
|
India is rapidly becoming the hub for embedded
designs worldwide. India design services companies are involved in embedded hardware
and software design in the latest embedded market segments such as automotive infotainment,
digital security and surveillance. We could see auto makers worldwide increasingly
turning toward India design houses to develop applications for in-car, such as integrated
computing for driver and passenger entertainment, driver assistance, etc. |
|
The sub-contracting of embedded software development to Indian software companies
has been prevalent for more than a decade now. Estimates say that the number of embedded software developers in the country is rising fast. It is a new high growth
area for the Indian software industry.
As pressure continues to achieve higher levels of device integration while reducing
cost, size and complexity, the issue of process innovation has become very significant.
To accommodate exponential growth demands for embedded market, Rhydo’s R&D Division
have constantly pushed the envelope of technological, physical and design
constraints. Various innovations and paradigm-defining
ideas have taken shape as
a result.
Global competition ensures that there is always something better coming tomorrow.
At Rhydo, we have thrived where others have faltered by using creative and innovative
technology to create new lifestyles and markets. We believe that continuous innovation
is the only way companies can achieve a sustainable competitive advantage going
forward. We continue to identify, develop, and acquire the core technologies that
will enable us to consistently be first-to-market with innovative products as we
establish ourselves as an active participant in the global standardization process.

R& D -Digital Signal Processing(DSP) |
|
|
Digital Signals Processing (DSP) is undoubtedly the hero of the I.T revolution.
CD it fax/data modems, mobile communication, audio, speech, image processing, multimedia,
industrial motor control and energy monitoring/control, DSP is a common factor.
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) has been a research topic in the R&D Department
of Rhydo Technologies since its formation. The principal DSP research areas comprise
data communications, speech and image processing and biomedical signal processing.
The main research emphasis is placed upon algorithms rather than hardware. As a
consequence of this, simulation techniques are widely used; the laboratory is particularly
well equipped in this regard, with access to a variety of platforms.
|
|
Rhydo Technologies is a leader in development and manufacturing of unique, comprehensive and innovative Solutions for the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based Market. Rhydo,
with its brilliant team of system experts, provides an extensive range of the most advanced and high-powered integrated DSP solutions. Our DSP solutions are geared
to the Communications, Medical imaging, Array Processing, Image and Voice\Audio
Processing, Data Acquisition, Military and many other emerging DSP based markets.
|
 |
|
Communications constitutes the largest market for DSPs and is the dominant driver
for the growth of the total DSP market. Technical courses usually contain a large
dose of theory, though practical approaches are now becoming available.

|
|
Rhydo's Robotics Research includes Pattern Analysis & Machine Learning,Manufacturing
Systems ,Microelectronic Circuits and Analogue Devices,Sonar Imaging and Sensor
Systems ,Signal Processing and Artificial Neural Networks,Mobile Robotics
|
The robotics market as a whole is comprised of three distinct, yet substantial,
subgroups.
These are
Industrial Robotics
Service Robotics
Personal Robotics.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The older industrial robotics segment, which was developed over the second half
of the last century, consists of immobile, single task robots that have little interaction
with humans or the world around them. They are termed industrial robots because
they are exclusively employed in manufacturing and factory floor automation. They
are the robots, actually the articulated robotic arms, responsible for spot welding
our cars, painting our refrigerators and checking for irregularities in assembled
products.
|
|
|
Personal Robotics defines Personal Robots as robots or robotic technology purchased
by individual buyers (consumers) which educate, entertain or assist in the home.
The personal robotics market serves the consumer market in many diverse segments
and is typified by products such as home automation/domestic service robots, hobbyist/education
robots and entertainment robots
Service Robotics Service robots, semi or fully autonomous mobile robots that assist
humans, service equipment and perform other autonomous functions, have applications
in almost every industry – anywhere where work is repetitive, requires continuously
high levels of concentration, is physically demanding or takes place in dangerous
environments.
Rhydo's Robotic Research consists of a group of like-minded engineers working in
robotics research and artificial intelligence.

R & D BioMedical |
|
|
Biomedical research, in general simply known as medical research, is the basic research
or applied research conducted to aid the body of knowledge in the field of medicine.
Medical research can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new
treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and
all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter
is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge
for the development of new therapeutic strategies. |
|
|
|
Rhydo implements its domain knowledge in the field of embedded systems to the biomedical
market to develop innovative testing equipments and alert systems.These equipmentshelps
in understanding and applying modern methods for the acquisition, processing and
analysis of signals.These systems are intended to be used for different biomedical
applications like signal processing for monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis for
clinical practice and biomedical research.
