• Abstract: This machine learning study investigates a lowcost edge device integrated with an embedded system having computer vision and resulting in an improved performance in inferencing time and precision of object detection and classification. A primary aim of this study focused on reducing inferencing time and low-power consumption and to enable an embedded device of a competition-ready autonomous humanoid robot and to support real-time object recognition, scene understanding, visual navigation, motion planning, and autonomous navigation of the robot. This study compares processors for inferencing time performance between a central processing unit (CPU), a graphical processing unit (GPU), and a tensor processing unit (TPU). CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs are all processors that can be used for machine learning tasks. Related to the aim of supporting an autonomous humanoid robot, there was an additional effort to observe whether or not there was a significant difference in using a camera having monocular vision versus stereo vision capability. TPU inference time results for this study reflect a 25% reduction in time over the GPU, and a whopping 87.5% reduction in inference time compared to the CPU. Much information in this paper is contributed to the final selection of Google's Coral brand, Edge TPU device. The Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Tiny ML Kit was also considered for comparison but due to initial incompatibilities and in the interest of time to complete this study, a decision was made to review the kit in a future experiment.

  We analyze how the performance of large-scale pretrained audio neural networks changes when deployed on a hardware such as Raspberry Pi. Our experiments reveal that the continuous CPU usage results in an increased temperature that can trigger an automated slowdown mechanism. The quality of a microphone, specifically with affordable devices like the Google AIY Voice Kit, and audio signal volume, all affect the system performance.

  We propose MAPLE-Edge, an edge device-oriented extension of MAPLE, the state-of-the-art latency predictor for general purpose hardware. Compared to MAPLE, MAPLE-Edge can describe the runtime and target device platform using a much smaller set of CPU performance counters. We also demonstrate that unlike MAPLE which performs best when trained on a pool of devices sharing a common runtime, MAPLE-Edge can effectively generalize across runtimes.
