Open hardware for robotics focuses on open source mechanical and electrical hardware, including design specifications of the robot such as schematics, blueprints, logic diagrams, CAD drawing files and ...

The ROBOTCORE™ hardware acceleration framework helps roboticists build “robot chips” and make robot computations faster, more deterministic and power efficient through FPGAs and GPUs ...

Shortly, hardware acceleration allows the creation of custom compute architectures (named robot “accelerators” or “cores”) that exploit compute parallelism.
