AMoC: Adaptive Multiprocessor on Chip
The AMoC project (Adaptive Multiprocessors-on-Chip) is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeintschaft (German Research Foundation) and focusses on the design of adaptive reconfigurable chip multiprocessor systems. Therefore, a design methodology for FPGA-based (Field- Programmable Gate Array) multiprocessorsystems on chip was developed.

Arlo Autonomous Ground Vehicle
We have utilized the Arlo Complete Robotic System by Parallax as the physical framework for our research into autonomous ground vehicles. This kit, which can be bought here, includes a frame, motors, wheels, optical encoders, a power distribution board, a motor controller, and a Parallax Activity Board. However, as is tradition with our research, we opt to replace the Activity Board with a much more capable FPGA SoC.

Automatic Assessment of Infant Sleep Safety
NICHD reports that close to 4,000 infants die annually from sleep-related causes in the US. Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) is the leading cause of infant mortality in the US among children aged from 1 month to 1 year old. SUID is defined as the sudden and unexpected death of an infant in cases where the cause is not obvious before an investigation. After a full investigation, SUID may be classified as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), suffocation, trauma, metabolic diseases, or unknown. SIDS is defined as sudden, unexpected infant death that cannot be explained, including scene investigation, autopsy, and clinical history review.
