70 Auto Tracking Robot Using Control System on FPGA Available to Purchase

This paper presents an auto tracking robot using the control system on FPGA in the Development and Education Kit (DE2). There are three components of hardware: Canon Digital DCUS40 camera, DE2 board and a Robot whose front wheel can rotate freely and two rear ones are fixed in the motor. The images received from the Camera are transferred to the tracking system on DE2 FPGA. These images are processed afterward by the image processing module to determine where the color object is and what its relational properties are. After that the output of the image processing module sent to the neural network module and states machine to determine the velocity control signals and navigate control signals.
