碩士 === 中華大學 === 電機工程學系(所) === 98 === Robot industry is combined with mechanism, automation, electric machinery, electronic, information software, communications and originality contents relative technology…etc. It is a star industry of high technique integration and high added value. In recent year, it has numerous service robots been made and designed for conduct, companion, entertainment and interaction continually. The service robots and human interact frequently in daily life. We expected that the robot will go into the family environment and will become a member of common people. Therefore, the automotive robot will become much more important position in this industry. Hence, my thesis is made design of an FPGA-based automotive robot for the LEGO brick classifier. Its framework includes LEGO brick structure, two sets of DC motor and a color sensor with software module which the LEGO brick structure is necessary for mechanism, and the robot’s power source is came from these two sets of DC motor. The color sensor is ingredients of monomer camera lens, color chip and two white LEDs which are used for color brick identification. Finally, the Verilog HDL is used to implement the control program. In fact, the design of an FPGA-based automotive robot for the LEGO brick classifier did accomplish the expected target from the experimental results real-time.
