[FPGA-Robotics] ROS-Gazebo-Verilator simulation to debug robot behavior

Verification of a FPGA Verilog circuit to control a color-tracking robot.

This video shows some of the robot's wrong behaviors that were detected by simulating the Verilog design with a C++ interface between the FPGA using Verilator (https://www.veripool.org/verilator/) and the Gazebo 3D Robotic simulator (https://gazebosim.org). ROS (Robot Operating System) provides communication between the FPGA simulation and robot camera and motors.

The correct robot's behavior after the simulations is shown in this video: [FPGA-Robotics] ROS-Gazebo interfacin...

All the tools are free and open source: Verilator, Gazebo, ROS, gcc
