A soft IP Core for a Reflective Optical Sensor in a robot system on chip

The development of a soft IP Core for a Reflective Optical Sensor of a credit card size robot is described. The broader goal of the project is the development of the robot into an autonomous line-following robot. The solution is achieved as an FPGA-based System-on-Chip design. The paper covers the development of the IP Core for the line sensor, its characteristics and the interfaces with the hardware on the robot.
