Nvidia has unveiled the Jetson Orin Nano 2, an enhanced robotics computer designed for AI and frontier-level models at the edge. Foundational AI models have become smaller and more efficient in recent months, enabling them to run on more compact hardware. Nvidia is focusing on improving efficiency at the edge to support these compact, high-performing models.
The Orin Nano 2 doubles the compute capacity of its predecessor, delivering 78 trillion operations per second of AI processing power, with 8 gigabytes of memory and an eight-core CPU. This compact form factor consumes 40% less power in its 15-watt mode, making it ideal for lightweight robotics projects such as drones. Companies like Cognex, Doosan Bobcat, Matic Robotics, and Wing Aviation are already exploring the Orin Nano's capabilities for smart robotics applications.
Wing Aviation, in particular, is investigating the potential of Orin Nano 2 for its aerial drone delivery fleet, aiming to enable faster, safer, and more energy-efficient deliveries. The new device will be available as both a module and a developer kit in the first half of 2027.
