Abstract

Robotics applications process large amounts of data in real time and require compute platforms that provide high performance and energy efficiency. FPGAs are well suited for many of these applications, but there is a reluctance in the robotics community to use hardware acceleration due to increased design complexity and a lack of consistent programming models across the software/hardware boundary. In this article, we present ReconROS, a framework that integrates the widely used robot operating system (ROS) with ReconOS, which features multithreaded programming of hardware and software threads for reconfigurable computers. This unique combination gives ROS 2 developers the flexibility to transparently accelerate parts of their robotics applications in hardware. We elaborate on the architecture and the design flow for ReconROS and report on a set of experiments that underline the feasibility and flexibility of our approach.
基于ReconROS的分布式可重构机器人系统设计
机器人应用程序实时处理大量数据,需要提供高性能和高能效的计算平台。fpga非常适合这些应用中的许多应用,但是由于设计复杂性的增加和跨软件/硬件边界缺乏一致的编程模型,机器人社区不愿意使用硬件加速。在本文中,我们介绍了ReconROS,这是一个将广泛使用的机器人操作系统(ROS)与ReconOS集成在一起的框架,其特点是为可重构计算机提供硬件和软件线程的多线程编程。这种独特的组合使ROS 2开发人员能够灵活地在硬件中透明地加速部分机器人应用程序。我们详细阐述了ReconROS的架构和设计流程,并报告了一组强调我们方法的可行性和灵活性的实验。
