FPGA Based Wireless Control System for Robotic Applications

Abstract

Abstract — Robotic applications are much more needed and almost mandatory requirement in today's fast moving industrial economy. In these circumstances the development of Robotics is also taking up the speed with the help of various technologies directly or indirectly suitable for robotic applications. FPGA takes advantage over microcontroller due to its hardware based parallel architecture. Motors are one of the core part of the Robots and controlling them with FPGA is little tricky. FPGA based wireless interface is used to remotely control robotic applications. For that FPGA based PWM signal generation method is used. Code can be made in such a manner so that multiple parts (motors) can be controlled at a time. The ports availability also provides flexibility to extend the support for the number of motors or any Data acquisition mechanism. A user friendly wireless interface is developed to control robot remotely.
