EDHPC

We are pleased to inform you that the second edition of the European Data Handling & Data Processing Conference – EDHPC 2025 – will be held from the 13th to the 17th of October 2025 in Elche, Spain. The EDHPC will be an international forum covering diverse aspects of the most relevant topics for on-board computers, on-board data handling systems, on-board data processing and microelectronics for space applications including both platform and payload applications (RF and optical).

Step by and come to say hey at booth #2.

Overview

AI is driving autonomy in space, with spacecraft pose estimation playing a key role in docking, navigation, and debris avoidance. Deep learning enables accurate vision-based pose estimation but demands efficient, high-performance hardware. FPGAs and SoCs offer an ideal balance of speed, power, and adaptability for space applications. This work presents a portable AI-based pose estimation solution deployable on any FPGA platform, supporting flexible, real-time operation in diverse mission scenarios.

In this tutorial you will learn, how to:

• Verify and validate AI models, if they perform reliably and as intended in mission-relevant pose estimation tasks.
• Efficiently prototype on FPGA/SoC platforms, and profile and tune for performance.
• Optimize and deploy on ANY FPGA, achieving a balance of low power, compact footprint, and mission-ready reliability. In this tutorial we will be using a Lattice AVANT FPGA.
