Researchers have developed ARGO, a smart eyewear platform that enables on-device machine learning for real-time urban obstacle recognition. The system utilizes an STM32N6 microcontroller with an NPU and an optimized YOLOv11 model, refined with Head-wise Parallel Attention (HPA) for efficient processing. This integrated approach achieves a 24 mAP50-95 score with a minimal memory footprint and offers approximately 113 minutes of continuous operation on a 200 mAh battery, demonstrating a privacy-preserving and energy-efficient assistive device.
