Robotic and Measurement Embedded Systems

Introduction into real time and complex embedded systems. Dealing with interrupts, embedded systems' software design, software and hardware synchronization, realtime operation, complex embedded system architecture,(multicore, SoC), multitasking and exchange of data (ROS – Robot Operating System), rapid development of time critical embedded systems. Development of highly deterministic processes based on FPGA. Theoretical part is supported by practical examples using hardware based on ARM, and Compact-RIO architectures. 

The course is focused at analysis, design and application of complex embedded systems in the field of robotics and measurement systems. Auditor is acquainted with the processes, organization and architecture of embedded systems and with their interaction. Focus is given to different aspects of software architecture and design for embedded systems, to communication of the hardware periphery and specific user interfaces.

Lectures, preparations for lab practices, individual lab work. Practices in a way, which enables further in-depth individual work.

For specific fields, lectures are given by invited lecturers, which are specialist in their field of work.
