Abstract

The goal of this senior design project was to demonstrate the power and efficiency of the neuromorphic architecture by producing a robot that roamed in a pseudorandom manner following the path of least resistance and avoided obstacles in its environment. The robot was required to use a track system for propulsion and a sweeping Garmin LIDAR-Lite v3 sensor on a servo for observing its environment. The trained neural network was implemented on a Digilent Genesys 2 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board with a MicroBlaze processor core.
