Orchestrating Joint Offloading and Scheduling for Low-Latency Edge SLAM

  • 根据场景重要性预测,智能选择本地处理的数据
  • 通信成本降低47%,同时提升定位精度
  • 适合对延迟敏感的机器人应用,如自动驾驶

视觉同步定位与建图(vSLAM)是众多新兴机器人应用的核心技术。在计算资源受限的移动机器人上实现实时SLAM极具挑战,因算法复杂度随时间增长。通过将计算任务卸载至边缘服务器,可形成边缘辅助SLAM的新范式。然而,外部随机输入过程影响系统动态,且客户端对SLAM指标的需求随时间变化,带来隐含且时变的影响。本文提出一种新架构,旨在突破现有边缘辅助SLAM的局限,能应对输入驱动的过程,并满足客户端隐含且动态变化的需求。核心创新包括:基于区域特征预测的重要性感知本地数据处理方法、融合数据压缩/解压与任务卸载的配置自适应策略,以及满足约束条件的输入依赖学习型任务调度框架。大量实验表明,该架构在姿态估计精度上优于主流边缘辅助SLAM系统,通信开销最高降低47%,并有效响应客户端需求。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (vSLAM) is a prevailing technology for many emerging robotic applications. Achieving real-time SLAM on mobile robotic systems with limited computational resources is challenging because the complexity of SLAM algorithms increases over time. This restriction can be lifted by offloading computations to edge servers, forming the emerging paradigm of edge-assisted SLAM. Nevertheless, the exogenous and stochastic input processes affect the dynamics of the edge-assisted SLAM system. Moreover, the requirements of clients on SLAM metrics change over time, exerting implicit and time-varying effects on the system. In this paper, we aim to push the limit beyond existing edge-assist SLAM by proposing a new architecture that can handle the input-driven processes and also satisfy clients' implicit and time-varying requirements. The key innovations of our work involve a regional feature prediction method for importance-aware local data processing, a configuration adaptation policy that integrates data compression/decompression and task offloading, and an input-dependent learning framework for task scheduling with constraint satisfaction. Extensive experiments prove that our architecture improves pose estimation accuracy and saves up to 47% of communication costs compared with a popular edge-assisted SLAM system, as well as effectively satisfies the clients' requirements.
