Introducing the Blackfin Handy Board
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Blackfin Handy Board is a new robot controller inspired by the original MIT Handy Board. The Blackfin Handy Board was developed in collaboration with Analog Devices, Inc., and is based on their Blackfin DSP chip, which combines a 16-bit integer DSP engine with a 32-bit RISC CPU. This paper provides an overview of the architecture of the Blackfin Handy Board, including the hardware design and supported software environments, and results from the Fall 2006 semester of use.

LEGO robots with Handy Board controllers have been widely used in upper-division Computer Science courses, such as Robotics and Embedded Systems. However, due to the limited communication capability available on the Handy Board controller, only a single individual LEGO robot was exploited for each student group to complete a certain mission in most existing courses. In this paper, we describe o...
متن کاملA Laboratory Exercise Using LEGO Handy Board Robots to Demonstrate Neural Networks In An Artificial Intelligence Class
In this paper we propose a novel method for teaching neural networks with back propagation in an undergraduate Artificial Intelligence course. The students build a robot whose task is to learn path-following behavior with a neural network. Robots are constructed from standard LEGO® pieces and use the MIT Handy Board as a controller.
