This paper presents a proof of the concept of distributed control architecture dedicated for the Autonomous Mobile Platform. The greatest advantage of the proposed solution is its scalability, which enables the application of advanced control algorithms that are based on multiple sensors that supply information to multiple processing units. The key is a highly effective on-board communication system. The proposed method is based on Serial Peripheral Interface SPI communication that joins the STM32 and Raspberry Pi processing units, which share the tasks of processing the signals that are necessary for AMP control. The proposed architecture and test results for on-board communication performance are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
