About the Lab
Where silicon meets intelligence.
The VLSI Automation Lab develops automation and service-based robot applications on FPGA platforms — ZedBoard, Zynq, PYNQ, Kria and UltraScale. We bridge image processing, computer vision, and machine learning with custom VLSI architectures, partial reconfiguration, and MEMS design to enable intelligent, real-time robotic systems.
