Abstract

This work presents the implementation of a wireless system for the control of mobile robots using circuits with Self-Timed (ST) Synchronization, implemented in reconfigurable devices FPGAs. The system is composed of a global network of small ST processors, which will develop independent processes communicated by means of modules of wireless transmission that form the network of activation of peripheral units. The proposal of this project consists of developing a wireless network of processors with fixed stations and mobiles, designed to low power by means of the use of circuits with Self-Timed synchronization. Every station of transmission consists in a ST microprocessor and a Xbee transmitter that transmits in a wireless way the instructions to the robot.
