Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Microcontrollers are commonly used to develop robot control systems. However, microcontrollers do not meet recent requirements on high levels of intelligent and complexed applications. On the other hand, a large capacity an FPGA is available in very low price, recently. Therefore, FPGAs are expected to apply to the robot control systems. However, the design productivity of an FPGA is low because a developer has to implement a processing system in RTL to use FPGA, in general. This paper discusses using an FPGA to achieve high performance in a robot control system. We select an inverted pendulum system as an example. At the same time, we introduce JavaRock that is a high-level synthesis tool from Java language so that design productivity is improved. As a result, a calculation time, which is 1.1ms in an H8 microcontroller system, is reduced to 11.1us by using an FPGA.
