Compute Regeneration through Re-Productization: Reorganizing Retired Edge AI Silicon into a Delivered Multilingual Service Robot

arXiv:2611.11698v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Useful edge hardware can lose product support while retaining substantial computation. We treat this as systems design: compute regeneration here means re-productization, retaining the compute module while redesigning the surrounding product organization. Our case is GEdgeBot, a multilingual service robot built around a retired 32 GB Jetson AGX Xavier. A source-grounded inventory shows the box alone supplies inference, while the combined system exposes five on-device AI services, a seven-language speech chain, three sensing domains, and one deterministic seven-byte control boundary. AI and orchestration stay on the Xavier; finite motor-pulse generation on an STM32F407.
