FPGA Based Visual Robot Control

FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) based systems are faster than a microprocessor because they can do the parallel process. Robot control with image processing application which is not efficient for microprocessors has been done using this feature of the FPGA-based systems. In this study, vision-based robot control has been performed with FPGA. Real time video taken from the camera is processing by the FPGA development kit DE2-115 then location and presence of the desired objects are determined. After this, the FPGA development kit produces the signals, which control the robot arm, in order to take the object from its location.
