Embedded Robot Control System Based On an Embedded Operating System, the Combination of Advanced RISC Microprocessor (ARM), DSP and ARM Linux

Abstract

By the advancement of electronics, embedded technology has become a challenging field in this modern age. The single functioned; tightly constrained, reactive and real-time feature of these devices enhanced its importance in industrial, consumer applications. In this paper, the configuration of the embedded system is introduced. It presents a robot control system based on an embedded operating system and ARM. Based on the combination of advanced RISC microprocessor (ARM), DSP and ARM-Linux, this paper involves development of embedded robot control systems through Wi-Fi. The design of embedded control system includes four aspects, i.e., system structure, functions, hardware, and software design. Fixed instruction width of 32 bits to ease decoding and pipelining, at the cost of decreased code density is the feature of RISC. In the development of the system, some features are included such as hierarchy structure, modular hardware, and structured software, to make the system suitable for a variety of robots applications through some hardware adjustment and software customization only. The effectiveness of proposed approach has to be verified and tested[11].
