NMPCM: Nonlinear Model Predictive Control on Resource-Constrained Microcontrollers
Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is a powerful approach for controlling highly dynamic robotic systems, as it accounts for system dynamics and optimizes control inputs at each step. However, its high computational complexity makes implementation on resource-constrained microcontrollers impractical. While recent studies have demonstrated the feasibility of Model Predictive Control (MPC) with linearized dynamics on microcontrollers, applying full NMPC remains a significant challenge. Thi…

I'm bad at making more organic shapes in OpenSCAD but this is progress so far on a custom "nunchuck" style controller someone asked for.
The buttons would get inserted with wires coming out the bottom to solder into place... then I'd need some sort of small piece to mount the microcontroller to and slide up through the bottom, secured with a screw, probably.
Probably a better way so I'll keep trying!

Sub-Millisecond Event-Based Eye Tracking on a Resource-Constrained Microcontroller
This paper presents a novel event-based eye-tracking system deployed on a resource-constrained microcontroller, addressing the challenges of real-time, low-latency, and low-power performance in embedded systems. The system leverages a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS), specifically the DVXplorer Micro, with an average temporal resolution of 200 μs, to capture rapid eye movements with extremely low latency. The system is implemented on a novel low-power and high-performance microcontroller from STMic…

Is there such a thing as a microcontroller with "I2C promiscuous mode"?
In other words, I want to passively snoop bus traffic and be alerted when e.g. somebody talks to address 0x90, but not actually ACK it myself.

From Tiny Machine Learning to Tiny Deep Learning: A Survey
The rapid growth of edge devices has driven the demand for deploying artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge, giving rise to Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) and its evolving counterpart, Tiny Deep Learning (TinyDL). While TinyML initially focused on enabling simple inference tasks on microcontrollers, the emergence of TinyDL marks a paradigm shift toward deploying deep learning models on severely resource-constrained hardware. This survey presents a comprehensive overview of the transition from…

Modular electronic microrobots with on board sensor-program steered locomotion
True microrobots, in contrast with externally controlled microparticles, must harvest or carry their own source of energy, as well as their own (preferably programmable) microcontroller of actuators for locomotion, using information acquired from their own sensors. Building on recent published work [1], we demonstrate here, for the first time, that microrobotic smartlets, hitherto buoyancy divers, can also be equipped to navigate in 2D on surfaces, with on-board control responding to both senso…

Implementing Keyword Spotting on the MCUX947 Microcontroller with Integrated NPU
This paper presents a keyword spotting (KWS) system implemented on the NXP MCXN947 microcontroller with an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling real-time voice interaction on resource-constrained devices. The system combines MFCC feature extraction with a CNN classifier, optimized using Quantization Aware Training to reduce model size with minimal accuracy drop. Experimental results demonstrate a 59x speedup in inference time when leveraging the NPU compared to CPU-only execution, …

Is there any battery more annoying than a “smart” battery that turns off if it does not detect enough of a load? Trying to use a USB power bank with a microcontroller project and it just turns off after a few minutes.
