During this project we will design, verify and implement an autonomous, mobile cart equipped with several sensors, including two NTSC cameras for stereo-computer-vision optical navigation and collision avoidance. The purpose of this design project is to incorporate several engineering disciplines including: systems engineering, real-time hybrid embedded system design, power electronics, and digital control. The main control unit of this system will be a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with a PowerPC 440 hard-core processor, including a co-processor designed specifically to process the images acquired from the two cameras.
