| description | Dengan kos alat pengesan yang semakin rendah, masa depan sistem pedati pengikut autonomi akan dilengkapi dengan lebih banyak alat pengesan. Ini menjadi cabaran rekabentuk dalam mengendalikan data besar dan kerumitan perkukuhan. Kebanyakan sistem yang sedia ada menggunakan papan mikropengawal yang mempunyai prestasi yang terhad dan pengembangan tidak mungkin tanpa penggantian yang lebih baru. Projek ini mencadangkan perlaksanaan alternatif sistem pedati pengikut autonomi dengan model rangkaian neural MLP menggunakan FPGA. Sistem pedati pengikut autonomi yang mengguakan papan mikropengawal telah diubah suai untuk menggunakan papan FPGA dan dilaksanakan melalui Sistem pada Chip (SOC). System rangkaian neural dilatih dalam simulasi dengan vektor latihan yang dikumpul daripada sistem pedati pengikut autonomi yang sedia ada. System rangkaian neural kemudian
dilaksanakan sebagai perkukuhan dalam SOC itu. Dalam pemerhatian, jejak
perkukuhan model rangkaian neural kekal saiz kecil tanpa mengira saiz rangkaian
neural. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa dengan penggunaan sumber tambahan
sebanyak 40%, penambahbaikan sistem secara keseluruhan sebanyak 27 kali dicapai dengan penggunaan blok pecutan perkakasan di SOC, berbanding dengan SOC tanpa penggunaan blok pecutan perkakasan.

The future of the autonomous cart follower system will equipped with lots of sensory data, due to the ever lower cost of sensory device. This provides design challenge on handling large data and firmware complexity. Most of the existing systems are implemented via usage of microcontroller board, which has limited performance and expansion is not possible without replacement of newer board. The project proposes an alternative approach of running the autonomous cart follower systems on neural network model using Field Programmable Gates Array (FPGA). A microcontroller based autonomous cart follower systems is modified to use the FPGA board and implemented via the System on Chip (SOC) approach. The neural network is trained offline in simulation tools with training vector collected from running the existing autonomous cart follower systems. The trained neural network model then implemented as software code in the SOC. By observation the firmware footprint of the neural network model remains small size regardless of the neural network size. The result shows that with 40% more additional resource utilization, the overall system improvement of 27 times is achieved with the usage of hardware acceleration block in SOC compared to SOC without hardware acceleration.
