PURPOSE: An SoC(System On a Chip) robot system and an operating method thereof are provided to implement an improved game robot by providing various platforms to a robot brain and connecting the brain to a microcontroller, an image processing unit, and a communicating unit. CONSTITUTION: An SoC robot system is composed of a brain unit(10), an image sensor unit(20), and a robot body(30). The brain unit receives image data from the image sensor unit, and transmits a driving command to the robot body. The robot body operates by the command received from the brain unit, and includes a microprocessor, a wire module communicating with the brain unit, a driving unit for controlling motion, and a firing control unit. The brain unit includes an SoC platform, a CPU-IP for processing a command, a memory-IP for storing data, a communication-IP, an image sensor interface-IP for processing image data, an FPGA interface-IP processing image data and communicating with the CPU-IP, an GPIO-IP for providing input/output channels, and a ROM for storing a control program. The image sensor unit includes a camera, a plurality of registers for operating functions set in advance, an image debugging unit for debugging image data, and a monitor.
