碩士 === 淡江大學 === 電機工程學系碩士在職專班 === 99 === A control platform design by using the Pineview processor is proposed in this thesis. The implemented control platform has multi-functional features of a small size, light weight, high performance and easy to support software development. Furthermore, the software system is easy to support the system development. It can meet the requirement of small-size humanoid robot in the hardware/software system design. The volume and weight of the implemented hardware platform are 100×72×31 mm3 and 100 gs, respectively. In the system structure design, Pineview processor, which is developed by Intel for next generation notebook, is used to be the control center of this platform. In the circuit board realization, the FR-4 material and SMT process are applied. In the input/output interface design, the Pine Trail development platform is used to integrate many interfaces design, such as USB, Gigabit Ethernet, HD Audio, Wi-Fi, GPIO port, VGA, SPI, I2C, and RS232/485, etc. Let the implemented platform is a pluralistic control interface and the robot can use various kinds of sensors and equipments. In the support of the software system, many items of software systems can be used in the implemented control platform such as Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows CE, and Linux, etc, so that this platform can save time in the system design. In the real verification of the implemented control platform, it has been built on a small-size humanoid robot to illustrate its multiple functions.
