Invasive Software-Hardware Architectures for Robotics (D01)

• Subject Area: Computer Architecture, Embedded and Massively Parallel Systems
• Term: from 2010 to 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 146371743

The main research topic is to explore the benefits and limitations of invasive computing for robotic applications, which combine methods and algorithms from the areas of computer vision and motion generation with concurrent processes and timely varying resource demands. We will employ speculative resource management based on a novel invasive memory system and evaluate it in the context of a perception and affordance extraction pipeline. Furthermore, we will investigate automatic porting of legacy code to invasive multi-core platforms.
