  • State estimation processor and state estimation system
    Patent number: 10191739
    Abstract: A microprocessor unit (MPU) connected to external sensors is provided with an interface unit that acquires detection information acquired by the external sensors and a digital signal processor (DSP) that estimates the state of a target object on the basis of the detection information acquired by the interface part and generates state information. The DSP is provided with a SIMD type arithmetic processing circuitry that processes a plurality of information with one command and is provided with single precision floating point computing units. The interface part outputs the state information generated by the DSP to an externally provided main processor. Therefore, power consumption can be reduced.
