Development of an Autonomous Driving Robot Car Using FPGA

Abstract

Autonomous technology has been actively developed. The theme of FPT 2018 FPGA design competition is autonomous vehicle driving using FPGA. In this paper, we describe our autonomous driving robot car for the design competition. Our robot car is developed using Xilinx FPGA Zynq 7020, which has PL (Programmable Logic) part and PS (Processor System) part. Image recognition to detect dolls used as humans is implemented on PL as hardware logic. Image processing of lane keeping, navigation and motor control are implemented on PS as software program. Our system is using PYNQ environment which can control hardware by Python language.
