Innovation

Post by galmonte »

Goodmorning,
I have a strange question, I need to find something innovative, with xmos processor to write my master thesis. I have to built a control system for a autonomous robot using the hard real time processors. I will built a pendulum double-reverse using a XK 1A, but I need to find something innovative to study. I do not know very well this board and I do not know where start, can you give me an advice to find something innovative about hard real time implementation, parallel handling of the signal, deterministic delta t to read the signal. I am looking for the articles on IEEE and google scholar but is hard find something if you do not know very well the field.

Are you looking for something that takes advantage of our real time performance rather than our processing performance? Like the our ability to react with deterministic, low latency? Or is a combination of both interesting?

Sorry, just read you original post some more. Here are some ideas:

- very high speed control loops (1MHz+) (determinism+low latency)
for controlling:
Power converters
balancing robots
motors
speakers
etc

- sigma-delta modulation in software (processing + high speed IO)
- beamforming speakers (parallel tasks + IO timing)
- sensor fusion (Kalman filtering + IO to lots of sensors + precise time stamping)

Hope that helps
