Energy-Aware Open-Vocabulary Detection Scheduling for Low-Power Robotic Autonomy

Energy-Aware Open-Vocabulary Detection Scheduling for Low-Power Robotic Autonomy

Summary

This research presents an energy-aware open-vocabulary detection (OVD) scheduler designed for low-power mobile robots.

Editorial context

The study evaluates an energy-aware scheduling system on a Jetson Orin Nano using AgileX LIMO hardware, reporting specific power reductions and mission success rates across defined navigation trials.

We evaluate the energy-quality trade-off on an AgileX LIMO using 40 real navigation trials: two target objects, five placements per target-policy pair, and four perception policies. Across bottle and cup trials, the scheduler records 8/10 mission success compared with 7/10 for each fixed-rate baseline, while reducing mean Jetson input power (a Jetso

arXiv:2611.07663v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open-vocabulary object detection (OVD) lets robots search for run-time object queries, but fixed-rate inference spends embedded compute on low-value frames during idle motion, map revisits, or stable viewpoints. This paper presents an energy-aware OVD scheduler for low-power mobile robots. The scheduler uses odometry, map change, and detector confidence to switch among
