Abstract(in English) In recent years, robots are expected to be autonomous, and their control software become complex and highly functional. The robots have a problem of processing performance shortage because they are not able to equip with a high performance processor due to battery operation. On the other hand, by realizing hardware dedicated for a robot processing using an FPGA, it is expected to improve the performance of robot systems. But, it is difficult to introduce an FPGA into a robot system since development of FPGA has high cost compared to software development. In this study, we propose componentizing of FPGA hardware in order to promote the introduction of an FPGA into a robot system. The component is compliant to ROS, which is becoming mainstream of a software platform for development assistance of a robot system. This paper reports a study of ROS compliant componentizing using programmable SoC. As a case study, an example of ROS compliant component of labeling hardware implemented an FPGA is described.
