In this theme, teams built an EcoMender Bot (EB) for deployment on an arena that abstracts a chip designing industry. The robot's brain is powered by an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that reads and processes the sensor data and controls the actuators. Challenges and learnings in this theme include building EB from scratch using an FPGA, understanding and implementing single-cycle\/pipelined RISC-V CPU design, and creating a hardware-software co-design using Verilog HDL to unveil the powerful parallel processing capabilities of FPGAs.<\/p>"}
