With 30 years of expertise in FPGA technology, PLC2 delivers tailored solutions that drive your innovation. Discover how our FPGA solutions address real-world challenges in robotics through practical use cases.
Use Case 1:
Autonomous Vehicle Navigation and Sensor Fusion
Robotic systems, particularly autonomous vehicles, rely heavily on sensor fusion to interpret data from multiple sources (e.g., cameras, LIDAR, radar). FPGAs can process the data from these sensors in real time and combine them to generate accurate environmental maps, enabling decision-making for navigation.
Use Case 2:
Robotic Arm Control with Real-Time Motion Planning
In robotics, controlling actuators (e.g., robotic arms) for tasks like assembly or surgery requires precise real-time motion planning and control. FPGAs can handle the complex computations needed for real-time inverse kinematics and motion planning, accelerating motion control algorithms and ensuring high-speed, low-latency responses to sensor inputs. Their parallel architecture enables quick response times, which is crucial for tasks requiring high precision.

FAQ
01. What markets are served?
Mainly industry, automotive, defense, robotics, medical, and edge AI.
02. How can I initiate a Development Service project?
Typically we start with a telecon to capture expectations and timeline, then an NDA is agreed and more detailed technical content and requirements are shared. We perform common requirements capture phase or directly quote the project on an hourly basis or fixed price basis.
03. What is the typical range of Development Service projects?
Several weeks to more than a year.
04. What is the typical lead time?
Preferably contact is established 3-6 months ahead of the project. In urgent cases, we can react within 2-4 weeks.
05. What can I expect as expertise?
Requirements capture; design and validation of IP blocks, integration of 3rd-Party IP blocks; porting to newer FPGA-technologies; Zynq7000 and MPSoC based systems; systems architecture; bare metal, RTOS and Embedded Linux software; high-speed interfaces (PCIe, Multi 10G Ethernet, USB, DDR-RAM, …); timing constraints; assessment, correction, and justifications related to synthesis, timing, CDC, implementation, power reports; drivers and host-frontends and UIs.
06. How can we cooperate?
We can work as an extended workbench with the customer, collaborate in development teams, or just deliver according to a specification.
07. Is there also project management and process assurance?
Yes, we offer complete project management, risk management, and process assurance along the project.
08. Are trainers involved in Development Service projects as well?
Yes, there is a strong interaction between trainers and Development Service personnel. Trainers act as team mentors, and they benefit from Development Service teams and their project experience.
