FPGA-based LENS system brings GPU-level scene memory to edge robots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed LENS, a system designed to enable resource-constrained robots to perform scene memory tasks without relying on high-power desktop GPUs. This system utilizes an FPGA and ARM platform to accelerate scene-coordinate regression (SCR) and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) rendering, achieving competitive localization accuracy and novel-view synthesis quality. LENS demonstrates superior performance per watt and lower latency compared to NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, though on-device training still lags behind GPU capabilities. AI

IMPACT Enables more capable AI on edge devices, reducing reliance on cloud processing for complex visual tasks.

    Localization and Neural Splatting on the Edge: An FPGA Scene Memory for Robots

    arXiv:2610.25068v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Resource-constrained robots and autonomous vehicles need scene memories that localize a camera and render nearby views without a desktop GPU. Scene-coordinate regression (SCR) and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) fit because t…
