Description
Do you like to design electronic circuit boards? Do you like hardware-oriented programing?
For a highly dynamic mobile robot, a fusion of camera and IMU (inertial measurement unit) is necessary. The processing platform of the robot is a so called
BeagleBoard. To provide the integration of an analog camera and an IMU, an appropriate extension board has to be designed. It should be able to grab a frame from the camera and transmit it to the DMA controller of the board. Further it should be able to read the data from the IMU and make it accessible to the ARM processor. Both sensors have to be synchronized on-board.
The first application of that board would be on flying robots.
