In this work, a new real-time Simulation method is designed for nonlinear control techniques applied to power converters. We propose two different implementations: in the first one (Single Hardware in The Loop: SHIL), both model and control laws are inserted in the same Digital Signal Processor (DSP), and in the second approach (Double Hardware in The Loop: DHIL), the equations are loaded in different embedded systems. With this methodology, linear and nonlinear control techniques can be designed and compared in a quick and cheap real-time realization of the proposed systems, ideal for both students and engineers who are interested in learning and validating converters performance. The methodology can be applied to buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, SEPIC and 3-phase AC-DC boost converters showing that the new and high performance embedded systems can evaluate distinct nonlinear controllers. The approach is done using matlab-simulink over commodity Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processors (TI-DSPs). The main purpose is to demonstrate the feasibility of proposed real-time implementations without using expensive HIL systems such as Opal-RT and Typhoon-HL.

The improved particle filter based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has been developed for many robotic applications. The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate that recent heterogeneous architectures can be used to implement the FastSLAM2.0 and can greatly help to design embedded systems based robot applications and autonomous navigation. The algorithm is studied, optimized and evaluated with a real dataset using different sensors data and a hardware in the loop (HIL) method. Authors have implemented the algorithm on a system based embedded applications. Results demonstrate that an optimized FastSLAM2.0 algorithm provides a consistent localization according to a reference. Such systems are suitable for real time SLAM applications.
