soc-approach for Safety-oriented Multi-channel Communication in Industrial Application of Human-robot-collaboration (HRC)

摘要

The importance of human-robot collaboration systems in industrial applications has increased due to the orientation towards the smart factory approach. To ensure the safety of such systems, collision avoidance techniques based on millimeter-wave radar sensors are used. Safe communication between the robot and the radar sensor is ensured by using the safety system on a chip based on 1oo2D architecture. The design and prototyping of a multi-channel communication FPGA-based development board is presented. Furthermore, the FPGA implementation of SoC with multiple Ethernet MAC interfaces based on various soft cores is demonstrated.
