Data communication bus for a robot

Abstract

A system includes a data communication bus comprising one or more modified complex programmable logic devices, wherein a modified complex programmable logic devices is adapted to communicate data frames at different communication speeds simultaneously. The use of one or more master devices interconnected with one or more heterogeneous slave devices associated with a plurality of communication rate/speed requirements, the use of predefined firmware programs, the use of sensors and/or actuators, the use of one or more high speed and bidirectional Serializer/Deserializer circuits and the use of low-voltage differential signaling amplifiers.
