As pointed out in Chapter 1, the focus with regard to robotic exploration has been on use of a general-purpose processor for handling sensor data and performing the required computations. As a consequence, additional hardware (in the form of buffers) has become necessary. This chapter examines the use of FPGAs, an architecturally-efficient alternative to general-purpose processors, for the exploration task.
