Communication of mobile rover based on FPGA, DSP and wireless communication

The control system of wheels mobile rovers is very important for recent and future research. The wheel type mobile rovers are one of the most practical and widespread robots. Wheels mobile rovers have a simple driving mechanism and high energy efficiency. This study describes the configuration of the communication of (2n+2/0≤n≤3) wheels mobile rover (robot) presented by 2, 4, 6, 8 wheels mobile rovers by using digital signal processor TMS320LF2407 DSP from Texas Instruments and wireless communication presented by Bluetooth technology. Also the communication hardware design is based on Field Programming Gate Array (FPGA) chip. The design of the common control system of (2 n+2/0≤n≤3) wheels mobile rover gives a combined system with low cost and high performance. The Experimental results suggest that the data in the FPGA change before and after communication between DSP and FPGA for each rover subsystem.
