Cover Story: With advancements in object detection through various sensors, autonomous driving technology has been studied for driverless driving, anticipated to alleviate human labor in the future. Additionally, with the development of internet of things (IoT) technology, tasks like serving and delivery are now being replaced by autonomous robots. These robots adopt low-power cores that are energy-efficient but have relatively lower performance since they rely on batteries. These characteristics make it challenging to perform computationally intensive tasks such as object recognition in autonomous robots. Therefore, we propose a Grid-Based DBSCAN Accelerator for LiDAR’s Point Cloud, which executes object recognition on low-power cores with reduced computational load. View this paper
