Autonomous Race Car Control System
Knop, Petr ; Bidlo, Michal (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
This master's thesis describes the hardware and software implementation of autonomous control system for RC toy car. This autonomous car had the task to follow a black line drawn on a white background. Car was enriched with wi-fi for data transfer to computers and the black line is detected by the camera. The main control module was implemented using a single board computer Raspberry Pi.

Digital Oscilloscope on FITkit Platform
Veškrna, Ondřej ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of a device that enables to monitor the behavior of the measured signal on the computer screen, using the principle of the digital oscilloscope. The control element of the device is the field programmable gate array (FPGA) on FITkit platform. The FPGA configuration controls the input signal sampling and sends the received samples through the USB interface to the PC. The graphical application implemented in the computer tries to restore the signal and then displays it on the screen.

Profiler for Generic Simulators of Microprocessors
Wilczák, Milan ; Přikryl, Zdeněk (referee) ; Masařík, Karel (advisor)
This thesis presents design and implementation of profiling tool for newly created microprocessors. For microprocessor description specialized language ISAC is used which describes processor resources, instruction set and behavior. Final profiler is an extension to existing simulator and can be used for optimizing of both processor and its applications. Principle of the profiler is generating events by simulator and processing these events into statistics.

Miniaturization and Range Extension of W-DMX v1.0 Module
Rojček, Martin ; Jaroš, Jiří (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
The aim of this master thesis is to design a wireless system which would be primarily used for a control of stage lighting. Our idea is to establish wireless links, that will carry DMX512 protocol, between individual lighting devices based on wireless transceiver nRF2401A. The foundation of our project comes from a previous design, which was not completely suitable for a practical use because of its rather large proportions and a short RF range. The project resolves the issue of relatively short range coverage through the deployment of RF amplifier RF5722. In the same tme, it also takes into account other technical aspects such as the use of antenas with a higher gain, front-end circuits or increased transmission reliability through frequency hopping scheme. Proper attention is also given to a minimalization of the module dimensions by using SMD components and layout adjustements, so it would be possible to place the whole board inside XLR connector. Set of printed circuit boards with the specified characteristics, which is the expected outcome of our project, were designed with Eagle PCB design environment.

Connecting Embedded Systems to Intranet
Damborský, Roman ; Ryšavý, Ondřej (referee) ; Švéda, Miroslav (advisor)
This thesis studies possibilities of connecting embedded systems to intranet. Available technologies and resources usable for control and capturing of data on remote sensors are considered. It goes into IEEE 1451.1 standard, which defines abstract interface of transducer for sensors connecting, while avoiding specification of concrete implementation of communication between these entities. Design and implementation of application with architecture based on IEEE 1451.1 standard takes also place in this thesis.

Ethernet Interface Module on FITkit Platform
Šoustar, Jiří ; Vašíček, Zdeněk (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
This graduation thesis is aimed at design and implementation of embedded systems, network communication and support of the network communication for embedded systems. Furthermore it introduces school platform FITkit and offers a conceptional extension of the network interface for this platform based on Ethernet network standard. Based on that conception I'm trying to find and describe suitable solution for FITkit platform which realizes a network interface as a form of extension module capable of development supporting.

Flight Timer in Ultramicro Aircraft/Helicopter
Široký, Adam ; Mlích, Jozef (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis deals with the development of embedded system for ultra light airplanes and helicopters. The aim is to design a system which would allow to measure and record the length of individual flights. It is therefore an onboard electronic diary which should facilitate and streamline the administration associated with sport aircraft operation. The base of the system is created on microcontroller of the MSP430 family by Texas Instruments. A reader will be offered the used hardware, the system design, the way of function and the possibility of using of the suggested system.

Configurable Embedded Photo/Video Trap with Storing Data and Self Adaptation to Surroundings
Výborný, Filip ; Šimek, Václav (referee) ; Strnadel, Josef (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with a design and construction of an embeded camera trap with a video recording and night vision support, which is able to self adapt to surroundings. The device is based on the Raspberry Pi platform and configurable by touch screen control with a user-friendly graphical interface. Also the web-application for easy remote administration was developed in Ruby On Rails framework. The camera trap was built and successfully tested under the real conditions. There are also typical application cases and requirements for camera trap construction described in this thesis.

Methods of Technical Prognostics Applicable to Embedded Systems
Krupa, Miroslav ; Ďaďo, Stanislav (referee) ; Tůma, Jiří (referee) ; Bejček, Ludvík (advisor)
Hlavní cílem dizertace je poskytnutí uceleného pohledu na problematiku technické prognostiky, která nachází uplatnění v tzv. prediktivní údržbě založené na trvalém monitorování zařízení a odhadu úrovně degradace systému či jeho zbývající životnosti a to zejména v oblasti komplexních zařízení a strojů. V současnosti je technická diagnostika poměrně dobře zmapovaná a reálně nasazená na rozdíl od technické prognostiky, která je stále rozvíjejícím se oborem, který ovšem postrádá větší množství reálných aplikaci a navíc ne všechny metody jsou dostatečně přesné a aplikovatelné pro embedded systémy. Dizertační práce přináší přehled základních metod použitelných pro účely predikce zbývající užitné životnosti, jsou zde popsány metriky pomocí, kterých je možné jednotlivé přístupy porovnávat ať už z pohledu přesnosti, ale také i z pohledu výpočetní náročnosti. Jedno z dizertačních jader tvoří doporučení a postup pro výběr vhodné prognostické metody s ohledem na prognostická kritéria. Dalším dizertačním jádrem je představení tzv. částicového filtrovaní (particle filtering) vhodné pro model-based prognostiku s ověřením jejich implementace a porovnáním. Hlavní dizertační jádro reprezentuje případovou studii pro velmi aktuální téma prognostiky Li-Ion baterii s ohledem na trvalé monitorování. Případová studie demonstruje proces prognostiky založené na modelu a srovnává možné přístupy jednak pro odhad doby před vybitím baterie, ale také sleduje možné vlivy na degradaci baterie. Součástí práce je základní ověření modelu Li-Ion baterie a návrh prognostického procesu.
