| | | NVIDIA Releases New Jetson AGX Orin Robotics Computer, Connecting To The Future Of Edge AI And Autonomous Machines
09/11/2021
NVIDIA recently announced the release of NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, the world’s smallest, most powerful and energy-efficient AI supercomputer for robotics, autonomous machines, medical devices and other forms of embedded computing at the edge.
Built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, Jetson AGX Orin provides 6x the processing power and maintains form factor and pin compatibility with its predecessor, Jetson AGX Xavier. It delivers 200 trillion operations per second, similar to that of a GPU-enabled server but in a size that fits in the palm of your hand.
“As robotics and embedded computing transform manufacturing, healthcare, retail, transportation, smart cities and other essential sectors of the economy, the demand for processing continues to surge. Jetson AGX Orin addresses this need, enabling the 850,000 Jetson developers and over 6,000 companies building commercial products on it to create and deploy autonomous machines and edge AI applications that once seemed impossible,” said Deepu Talla, Vice President and General Manager of Embedded and Edge Computing, NVIDIA.
Customers using the Jetson AGX Orin can leverage the NVIDIA CUDA-Xaccelerated computing stack, NVIDIA JetPack SDK, and the latest NVIDIA tools for application development and optimization, including cloud-native development workflows. Pretrained models from the NVIDIA NGC™ catalogue are optimized and ready for fine-tuning with the NVIDIA TAO toolkit and customer datasets. This reduces time and cost for production-quality AI deployments, while cloud-native technologies allow seamless updates throughout a product’s lifetime.
The Jetson embedded computing partner ecosystem encompasses a broad range of services and products, including camerasand other multimodal sensors, carrier boards, hardware design services, AI and system software, developer tools and custom software development.
Jetson AGX Orin features an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU and Arm Cortex-A78AE CPUs, along with next-generation deep learning and vision accelerators. High-speed interfaces, faster memory bandwidth and multimodal sensor support provide the ability to feed multiple concurrent AI application pipelines.
Both the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module and developer kit will be available in the first quarter of 2022, and you can sign up at the webpage to be notified when it is.
