As AI models grow smaller and more efficient, more edge devices can become autonomous systems that understand context, interpret language and images, and act in real time. To bring these capabilities into physical machines like robots, delivery and inspection drones, and vision AI systems, developers need compact, energy-efficient robotics computers built for edge AI. NVIDIA’s new Jetson Orin Nano 2, a new robotics computer targeted at entry-level edge AI, is intended to address that need by putting frontier-class generative AI performance in the hands of millions of developers.
Featuring 78 trillion operations per second of AI compute, 8GB of memory, and an 8-core Arm CPU, Jetson Orin Nano 2 delivers a significant leap in AI and video-processing performance in a cost-effective, power-efficient system. Jetson Orin Nano 2 achieves 2x the inference performance of Jetson Orin Nano Super through improved Tensor Cores and higher memory bandwidth while maintaining the same compact form factor. In 15-watt mode, Jetson Orin Nano 2 consumes 40 percent less power to deliver the same performance as its predecessor.
Powered by NVIDIA’s open software stack, NVIDIA Jetson agent skills, and AI ecosystem, Jetson Orin Nano 2 enables developers to run the latest large language models and vision-language models optimized for memory-efficient edge inference—including open models like NVIDIA Cosmos and NVIDIA Nemotron, Gemma 4, and Qwen 3—to rapidly build advanced AI applications.
Partner Ecosystem and Millions of Robotics Developers
NVIDIA claims that more than 3 million developers are building on its robotics stack. Partners like Cognex, Doosan Bobcat, Matic, and Wing are leveraging Jetson Orin Nano 2 to bring real-world edge AI applications to compact devices, including home robots, vision AI systems, delivery and inspection drones, carrier boards, hardware systems, and reference solutions.
Wing, a leading drone delivery company and subsidiary of Alphabet, is using Jetson Orin Nano Super and the NVIDIA software stack in its delivery drone fleet—and plans to evaluate Jetson Orin Nano 2 to advance real-time AI perception and reasoning for faster, safer delivery from local businesses to residential yards.
Matic Robots, an advanced consumer robotics company, is adopting Jetson Orin Nano 2 to enable more intuitive interactions with its home cleaning robots, equipping them with conversational AI, gesture detection, a deeper understanding of the home through precision mapping and semantic understanding, and autonomous cleaning capabilities.
AAEON, ADLINK, Advantech, Aetina, Antmicro, Aptiv, Auvidea, AVerMedia, Chuanglebo, Connect Tech, ForeCR, JWIPC, Neurealm, Plink, Realtimes, RidgeRun, RS, Seeed Studio, Tauro Tech, Twowin, TZTEK, and YUAN are among other Jetson partners building carrier boards, hardware systems, customized AI software, and reference solutions to help customers accelerate time to market.
Availability
The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2 module and developer kit are expected to be available in the first half of 2027.
