Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) require highly specialized computer processors to be able to pilot themselves. Developing application specific processors is often expensive and difficult task. So Anthony netbet casino appused an open source instruction set architecture, RISC-V, to help streamline the process for building better motion planning processors. He designed a hardware accelerator, taking advantage of parallelization, that detects collisions five times faster than a regular CPU, and then showed how it could be implemented netbet casino appinto a specialized motion planning processor for use in autonomous UAVs. For Anthony, the biggest challenge of this project was learning to use the RISC-V instruction set architecture, since it was completely new to him. Working on the project also taught him how to define a problem and manage a project aimed at solving that problem.
