Heterogeneous Compute

"Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window." - Steve Wozniak

Vision Language Action

version 2.9

Vision-Language-Action explores how modern VLA models can drive real robotic behavior by unifying perception, instruction, and control. This experiment evaluates SmolVLA, the LeRobot framework, and a pair of SO-101 3D-printed robotic arms, while comparing performance across heterogeneous compute platforms. The goal is to understand how multimodal inference workloads map onto different parts of an SoC, how execution characteristics vary between Intel and NVIDIA hardware, and what this means for deploying VLAs in real robotic systems.
