VLSI computer for robotics.

Real-Time Computer Vision and Robotics Using Analog VLSI Circuits

The long-term goal of our laboratory is the development of analog resistive network-based VLSI implementations of early and intermediate vision algorithms. We demonstrate an experimental circuit for smoothing and segmenting noisy and sparse depth data using the resistive fuse and a 1-D edge-detection circuit for computing zero-crossings using two resistive grids with different spaceconstants. T...

Computer Developments for Mining Robotics

Extensive research is demanded to solve these problems , and a large portion of that research is already under way. Research activities extend to sensor research, software engineering, theoretical /analytical studies , robot demonstrations , and so on . This paper reports on two efforts, both representative of computer methods studies , which have been directed at the two problem areas noted ab...

Parallel algorithms for VLSI computer-aided design

Computer Vision for Mobile Robotics Winter 2005

This contents of this course are This course covers a variety of topics and issues in applied AI: computer vision, mobile robotics, and multi-robot systems. These abstract components are grounded in the problem of robotic soccer. In four assignments, the students will implement the components for a team of intelligent mobile robots capable of performing interesting and challenging tasks such as...
