  Semantic scene segmentation plays a critical role in a wide range of robotics
applications, e.g., autonomous navigation. These applications are accompanied
by specific computational restrictions, e.g., operation on low-power GPUs, at
sufficient speed, and also for high-resolution input. Existing state-of-the-art
segmentation models provide evaluation results under different setups and
mainly considering high-power GPUs. In this paper, we investigate the behavior
of the most successful semantic scene segmentation models, in terms of
deployment (inference) speed, under various setups (GPUs, input sizes, etc.) in
the context of robotics applications. The target of this work is to provide a
comparative study of current state-of-the-art segmentation models so as to
select the most compliant with the robotics applications requirements.
