Jetson-PI: Towards Onboard Real-Time Robot Control via Foresight-Aligned Asynchronous Inference

Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have achieved impressive performance on diverse embodied tasks. However, deploying VLA models on low-power onboard devices, such as the Jetson Orin, remains challenging due to their high computational complexity, which leads to substantial inference latency and low control frequency. Asynchronous inference can partially mask this latency by parallelizing action execution and subsequent inference, but it introduces two critical issues: perception-execution misalignment and long reaction time. In this paper, we propose Jetson-PI, a method for efficient VLA deployment on onboard devices via Foresight-Aligned Asynchronous Correction. To address misalignment, we train a lightweight future correction module that predicts future environment representation conditioned on committed actions, enabling the action expert to directly predict actions from the future time step. To reduce reaction time, we introduce confidence-based scheduling optimization that adaptively balances VLM and action expert invocations, complemented by system-level accelerations including CUDA graph reuse, GPU-resident intermediate buffering, and flow unrolling. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Jetson-PI achieves 8.66x and 5.41x improvements in control frequency compared with naive PyTorch and vla.cpp on NVIDIA Jetson Orin, while outperforming VLASH by 14.8\% in average success rate on the LIBERO benchmark. The code of our asynchronous algorithm is available on https://github.com/PKU-SEC-Lab/Jetson-PI, and our efficient llama.cpp-based inference engine is available on https://github.com/PKU-SEC-Lab/Jetson-PI-Edge.

Brain4FMs: A Benchmark of Foundation Models for Electrical Brain Signal

Brain foundation models (BFMs) are advancing neurotechnology by learning transferable representations from neural signals, with broad potential in clinical diagnosis and neuroscience research. Their development relies on large-scale pretraining corpora of electrical brain signals, including scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and intracranial EEG (iEEG). However, existing BFM benchmarks primarily focus on EEG, cover only a limited subset of models, and provide limited analysis beyond downstream performance. We introduce Brain4FMs, the first unified benchmark, to our knowledge, for jointly evaluating BFMs on EEG and iEEG. It integrates 17 representative models and 21 public datasets across clinical diagnosis, sleep staging, communication, and affective computing. Brain4FMs is open and plug-and-play, with dataset-aware preprocessing, cross-subject evaluation, heterogeneous multichannel handling, and standardized downstream adaptation workflows. The benchmark reveals performance variation across tasks, signal modalities, and adaptation protocols, with no single BFM consistently dominating all evaluation scenarios. % To better understand these heterogeneous transfer behaviors, we further conduct exploratory analyses of model-specific properties. To better understand these behaviors, we further conduct exploratory analyses of model-specific properties of spatial, spectral, and discrete representations. The code is available at https://github.com/wajtsq/Brain4FMs.

MeRoPE: Metric Rotary Position Embedding for Camera-Controlled Video Generation

In camera-controlled video generation, geometry-aware positional encodings condition tokens on camera extrinsics and per-token viewing rays. Existing schemes, however, have a scale-dependent failure mode on real-world metric camera trajectories: homogeneous projective encodings cause attention logits and feature norms to grow unbounded with physical translation baselines. We propose MeRoPE (Metric Rotary Position Embedding), a norm-preserving relative camera encoding for attention. MeRoPE encodes relative orientations between calibrated viewing rays with orthogonal rotation blocks, maps raw metric displacements into multi-frequency rotary phases, and adds a disparity-anchored correspondence prior along the epipolar arc. This design strictly preserves feature norms, bounds pre-softmax attention logits regardless of the physical translation scale, and maintains exact invariance to global rigid coordinate changes. Across nuScenes and PanShot, which cover large-baseline trajectories and diverse camera optics, respectively, MeRoPE achieves stronger camera control than prior encodings, with the best consistency between generated camera motion and conditioning poses in both rotation and translation. Code will be made publicly available.
