Abstract

Onboard satellite intelligence requires a task layer that translates mission intent into local tool calls, exposes execution state, and returns machine-consumable artifacts under communication and power constraints. We present SAT-Edge-Agent, a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) edge-agent system deployed on a commercial off-the-shelf ARM-based heterogeneous edge system-on-chip. A browser workspace and FastAPI agent coordinate a local OpenAI-compatible language service with a project-internal YOLO-style oriented-object-detection endpoint that returns FAIR1M metadata-backed structured results. Two fixed FAIR1M workloads, one single-image and one serial two-image request, were repeated 20 times each and completed 20/20 attempts. Mean Full-Agent latency was 29.353 s and 60.937 s, with empirical P95 values of 31.166 s and 66.882 s. Mean detector time was 861.386 ms and 1510.920 ms, only 2.93% and 2.48% of the corresponding Full-Agent means. Profiling indicates that most visible latency occurs outside detector execution. Mean CPU utilization was 20.761% and 20.482%. A 200-ms NPU-load field averaged 100% for both workloads, but it represents a shared-accelerator software field rather than detector-only occupancy or calibrated utilization. The public evidence package provides sanitized request-level records, redacted JSON, normalized SSE examples, and scripts reproducing the reported statistics. These results establish a reproducible HIL boundary for observable satellite edge-agent orchestration, but do not establish detector accuracy, a new geolocation method, calibrated energy efficiency, or flight readiness.

From Intent to Infrastructure: LLM-Driven Agent Compilers for ISAC Networks

Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is moving from proof-of-concept demonstrations to system-level deployment in sixth-generation (6G) networks. Because sensing and communication share hardware, spectrum, and waveform resources, ISAC design now involves many tightly coupled choices, including waveform selection, sensing algorithm setup, resource scheduling, and deployment planning. This design space is already too large to manage well through manual tuning or isolated optimizers. This article introduces the \textit{Agent Compiler}, a large language model (LLM)-enabled compilation layer that translates high-level engineering intent into complete and executable ISAC system configurations. The Agent Compiler works in four stages: intent parsing, task decomposition, policy graph synthesis, and infrastructure mapping. It produces a verifiable intermediate representation called the ISAC Policy Graph (IPG). A runtime engine then deploys the compiled configuration and supports closed-loop adaptation at three levels: fast parameter updates, partial recompilation of affected subgraphs, and full workflow recompilation. The core design principle is strict time-scale separation: the LLM handles slow-loop strategic decisions, while proven algorithms retain real-time control in the fast loop. A UAV-assisted disaster rescue example illustrates the full compilation process. We also discuss open issues, including compilation latency, output reliability, constraint verification, and pipeline security, to guide future research.
