Development Of Distributed Intelligent Systems With The Robot Operating System


Networked robotic systems are increasingly prevalent. In addition to industrial robotics now firmly ensconced in manufacturing, applications are also being developed in the areas of logistics, medical technology, and even unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). In general, robotic systems are still centrally controlled by a PLC based on statically planned tasks... » read more

Low-Latency Image Acquisition And Processing With A Programmable Vision-System-On-Chip


This work aims to demonstrate the benefits of using a Vision-System-on-Chip for image processing tasks with very high latency demands between image acquisition and processing. By leveraging a column-parallel, mixed-signal data path, which is entirely software-defined by three application-specific instruction- set processors (ASIPs), image data within multiple regions of interest can be analyzed... » read more
