Co-Designing Computational Systems for Robotics

Co-Designing Computational Systems for Robotics

Project Overview

The next generation of robotics applications are facing a computational crisis. Facing thermal dissipation limits, CPUs have hit a single-threaded performance wall. At the same time the real-time computational demands for emerging robotics algorithms are only growing. To alleviate this bottleneck, through the lens of co-design, we are developing open-source software libraries that make it easy for other robotics researchers and practitioners to use alternative computing platforms (e.g., GPUs and FPGAs), balance competing computational constraints throughout their software systems, as well as developing automated open-source tools to enable the efficient design and use of custom robotics accelerator chips.
