Hey !

I'm working on a small-scale multi-drone control system and I'm looking for an open-source VLM that can run in real time on a Jetson Orin. If anyone knows a model or is personally interested in this kind of edge robotics problem, I'd love pointers.

What I'm trying to solve :

I have 4 simultaneous video streams coming from four drones (grayscale, 320Γ—320 ). I can feed the model either:
β€’ a 2Γ—2 mosaic frame, or
β€’ 4 separate frames as a batch.
Along with this, I provide a short text instruction describing the mission state.

What I need from the model :

A single structured JSON command representing the next action for the swarm controller. Something like (not decided yet):

{
  "action": "move_forward",
  "confidence": 0.87,
  "reason": "front corridor detected, no obstacles in drone_2 and drone_4 views"
}


So I need a VLM that can:
β€’ handle multi-image or mosaic image input
β€’ run efficiently on a Jetson Orin (ideally INT4/INT8 friendly, TensorRT-compatible)
β€’ generate stable JSON outputs based on visual + textual context

I would really appreciate suggestions, or even just thoughts on what architectures make sense here.

Models like openbmb/MiniCPM-V-4_5, https://huggingface.co/dustnehowl/nanoVLM, and Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct look promising, but I'm still exploring what’s actually viable on-device.

Happy to share benchmarks or test anything people want to throw at this problem. The multi-drone video + action JSON setup is niche but potentially useful to others building edge-deployed agents.
