Adaptation-Free Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception with Unseen Agent Configurations

ArXi:2605.26642v1 Announce Type: new Collaborative perception improves 3D object detection by enabling agents to share complementary observations, but most existing methods assume fixed or known collaborator encoder configurations, limiting deployment in practice. In this work, we consider an open-world setting in which auxiliary agents with unseen configurations may appear after deployment, such as different LiDAR beam counts or encoder architectures.
