ReconROS Executor: Event-Driven Programming of FPGA-accelerated ROS 2 Applications

C. Lienen, M. Platzner, 2022


2021

Design of Distributed Reconfigurable Robotics Systems with ReconROS

C. Lienen, M. Platzner, ACM Transactions on Reconfigurable Technology and Systems (2021), pp. 1-20

Abstract
DOI

Robotics applications process large amounts of data in real time and require compute platforms that provide high performance and energy efficiency. FPGAs are well suited for many of these applications, but there is a reluctance in the robotics community to use hardware acceleration due to increased design complexity and a lack of consistent programming models across the software/hardware boundary. In this article, we present ReconROS, a framework that integrates the widely used robot operating system (ROS) with ReconOS, which features multithreaded programming of hardware and software threads for reconfigurable computers. This unique combination gives ROS 2 developers the flexibility to transparently accelerate parts of their robotics applications in hardware. We elaborate on the architecture and the design flow for ReconROS and report on a set of experiments that underline the feasibility and flexibility of our approach.
