FPGA-based Controller for a Mobile Robot

摘要

With application in the robotics and automation, more and more it becomes necessary the development of applications based on methodologies that facilitate future modifications, updates and enhancements in the original projected system. This project presents a conception of mobile robots using rapid prototyping, distributing the several control actions in growing levels of complexity and computing proposal oriented to embed systems implementation. This kind of controller can be tested on different platform representing the mobile robots using reprogrammable logic components (FPGA). This mobile robot will detect obstacle and also be able to control the speed. Different modules will be Actuators, Sensors, wireless transmission. All this modules will be interfaced using FPGA controller. I would like to construct a mechanically simple robot model, which can measure the distance from obstacle with the aid of sensor and accordingly should able to control the speed of motor.
