AstroTinker Bot
An FPGA-driven miniature robot built for e-Yantra, from RISC CPU up to path planning.
- Period
- September 2023 – January 2024
- Kind
- hackathon
- Stack
- Verilog HDL, C, DE0-Nano FPGA
Built for eYRC 2023–24, the e-Yantra robotics competition at IIT Bombay.
- Verilog from the ground up: a ripple carry adder, an FSM-based sequence detector, a UART transmitter and receiver, and a RISC CPU.
- Integrated the whole stack with infrared sensors on a DE0-Nano FPGA board.
- A C path-planning algorithm capable of routing between two arbitrary specified points, driving drag-and-drop behaviour.
