Visual Perception Engine: Fast and Flexible Multi-Head Inference for Robotic Vision Tasks

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.

Evolving Layer-Specific Scalar Functions for Hardware-Aware Transformer Adaptation

The paper introduces a hardware‑aware framework that uses genetic programming to evolve layer‑specific scalar functions for Vision Transformers, replacing traditional LayerNorm with efficient, heterogeneous approximations. By applying a post‑training re‑alignment strategy, the method eliminates the need for full model retraining while achieving 90‑93% variance capture and recovering over 84% of ImageNet‑1K Top‑1 accuracy for ViT‑B and ViT‑L. The resulting architecture removes the global reduction bottleneck, reducing arithmetic complexity and off‑chip memory traffic, thereby enabling efficient deployment of ViTs on edge accelerators.

TEE-X: TEE-aware Acceleration Framework for Large Vision Models at the Edge

TEE-X is a TEE‑aware acceleration framework designed to run large vision models, such as Vision Transformers, entirely within Trusted Execution Environments. It introduces a sensitivity‑aware modularization technique and vectorization to overcome memory constraints and latency challenges on edge devices. The framework is validated on OP‑TEE for Arm TrustZone and optimized for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, achieving GPU‑level inference latency with minimal accuracy‑latency trade‑offs.
