Nvidia unveiled new robotics-related hardware and services during the festivities at its fall 2022 GTC conference that are geared toward businesses creating and testing machines in sectors like manufacturing. With the help of realistic mock-ups, designers can model interacting robots using Isaac Sim, which went into open beta last June.
With the introduction of Jetson Orin Nano system-on-modules, NVIDIA has expanded the NVIDIA Jetson line-up and raised the bar for entry-level edge AI and robotics. These new products can perform up to 80 times faster than the previous generation. The Nvidia Jetson Orin line of AI application supercomputers is strong, small, and energy-efficient and is intended to power autonomous machines, robots, and other systems at the network edge. They have Arm-based central processing units, deep learning, and visual AI accelerators,
The NVIDIA Jetson family now covers six Orin-based production modules for the first time to serve the complete spectrum of edge AI and robotics applications. This ranges from the Orin Nano, which offers the fastest Jetson compact factor and up to 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI performance, to the AGX Orin, which offers 275 TOPS for very sophisticated autonomous machines.
An NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU, Arm-based CPUs, cutting-edge deep learning and vision accelerators, high-speed interfaces, rapid memory bandwidth, and support for multimodal sensors are all included in the Jetson Orin. More clients can commercialize products thanks to this performance and versatility, including engineers deploying cutting-edge AI applications and developers creating the next generation of intelligent robots using the Robotics Operating System (ROS).
The Orin Nano supports AI application pipelines with Ampere architecture GPU, Nvidia's 2020-launched GPU architecture, and comes in modules compatible with the company's previously announced Orin NX. The Orin Nano 8GB, which offers up to 40 TOPS with power customizable from 7W to 15W, and the Orin Nano 4GB, which reaches up to 20 TOPS with power options ranging from 5W to 10W, will both be available in January starting at $199.
The Nvidia Isaac Sim platform, which is now accessible on the cloud, will allow developers to create robotics applications that can operate on the Jetson Orin Nano. Jensen Huang, the founder, and CEO of Nvidia declared today at GTC that the Isaac Sim robotics simulation platform is now accessible in the cloud.
