Beginning with the Pronto4TM Strap-on Autonomy System — a retrofit kit that makes any existing vehicle with a steering wheel a drive-by-wire system — and including a flexible, shared variable software base running on an open architecture system, DesignJug is enhancing its technology by creating a new sensor platform with supporting software that provides input to the team’s Actively Refined Rea...

In this paper, a new technique is presented for the design and optimization of digital FIR filters with coefficients that are presented in canonic signed-digit (CSD) format. Since such implementation requires no multipliers, it reduces the hardware cost and lowers the power consumption. The proposed technique considers three goals, the optimum number of coefficients, the optimum wordlength, and...
