I am looking for something that can replace RPi2/Edison in my humanoid robot for real-time computer vision. Is Jetson TX1 a good candidate? Is it a drop-in replacement with a similar power envelope as RPi2/Edison, i.e. can be powered by a small LiPo battery?

It is an excellent candidate if money is no object.

It's more power hungry than RPi2. Don't know much about Edison.

  For sure: "Jetson TX1 draws as little as 1 watt of power or lower while idle, around 8-10 watts under typical CUDA load, and up to 15 watts TDP when the module is fully utilized, for example during gameplay and the most demanding vision routines."[1] Anecdotally, the RPi2 has been measured[2] around 4-6 watts under load and the Edison was measured[3] around 1 watt.
