RoboCore places a robotics-specific collision checker inside a programmable GPU, using specialized separating-axis units with early exits while retaining general programmable operations. In simulated static environments, it reports a 2.8× geometric-mean collision-query speedup and 48% lower energy than an adapted Mochi baseline. These are architecture estimates, not deployed-robot measurements or safety guarantees, and dynamic obstacles remain future work.
