Stochastic Bayesian Computation for Autonomous Robot Sensorimotor System
Résumé
This paper presents a stochastic computing implementation
of a Bayesian sensorimotor system that performs
obstacle avoidance for an autonomous robot. In a previous
work we have shown that we are able to automatically design a
probabilistic machine which computes inferences on a Bayesian
model using stochastic arithmetic. We start from a high level
Bayesian model description, then our compiler generates an
electronic circuit, corresponding to the probabilistic inference,
operating on stochastic bit streams. Our goal in this paper is
to show that our compilation toolchain and simulation device
work on a classic robotic application, sensor fusion for obstacle
avoidance. The novelty is in the way the computations are implemented,
opening the way for future low power autonomous
robots using such circuits to perform Bayesian Inference.
