Visual Perception Engine (VPEngine) is a modular framework that enables efficient GPU usage for robotic vision tasks by sharing a foundation model backbone across multiple specialized task heads. It eliminates redundant feature extraction, supports dynamic task prioritization, and achieves up to 3× speedup over sequential execution. The open‑source Python implementation, with ROS2 C++ bindings, delivers real‑time performance (≥50 Hz) on NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX using TensorRT‑optimized models.
arXiv:2608. 14586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models are becoming a promising paradigm for autonomous driving, but their deployment on existing vehicle platforms remains difficult because they introduce both high inference latency and strong GPU-side resource pressure.

Robion is a new serving and management system designed to run Vision‑Language‑Action (VLA) models on multi‑GPU edge servers for robot factories. It splits the VLM and ADiT stages within a single GPU, shares streams across multiple models, and prioritizes requests by remaining SLO time, enabling high robot load while meeting strict latency requirements. In experiments, Robion achieves 6.7× higher robot load than vLLM‑Omni and 1.5× higher than a monolithic pipeline, and can serve 64 robots on a 4‑GPU server with 98% SLO attainment.
