YOLO

You Only Look Once — a family of single-stage object detectors that predict bounding boxes and class probabilities directly from full images in one forward pass. YOLO models (v5, v7, v8, v9) prioritize inference speed, making them suitable for real-time robotic perception. YOLOv8 achieves 640×640 detection at 100+ FPS on an NVIDIA Jetson, enabling fast grasp candidate detection.
