EdgeVLN: Runtime-Aware Deployment Ready Quantized Vision Language Navigation Model

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 28, 2026 · UTC

Vision-language navigation (VLN) models perform well but target compute-rich platforms, limiting deployment on memory- and power-constrained robotic edge devices. Compression alone does not establish whether a VLN model fits the memory, latency, and energy budgets of an edge platform while preserving navigation behavior. We introduce EdgeVLN, a runtime-aware, deployment-ready quantized VLN model that closes this gap. EdgeVLN combines a quantized StreamVLN model with Latent Trajectory Termination Extractor (LATTE), a lightweight causal transformer that improves real-time stopping by predicting
