Typical uses for FPGAs in robotics include basic processing on the high bandwidth bitstreams from cameras or laser scanners into a format / representation more easily handled by the main CPU (building a depth map from the raw laser scanner photodiode stream, for example). They are also used on the motor control side, though these days a motor control mcu may be more practical in most cases today.
