| Nvidia announces a new AI brain for robotics |
At the Fall GTC event, NVIDIA announced that the Jetson Systems Group is doing the company's upcoming Orin System-on-a-Chip upgrade.
Launching early next year, Orin will become the company's first automotive app and advanced computer system on a chip.
NVIDIA supplies non-vehicle Orin customers with integrated Jetson computer software, which enables System-on-a-Chip delivery in a modular, stand-alone package.
Jetson's single-board computers have become an essential tool for the company, both as an entry point to help boot developers into the business ecosystem, and as an embedded computing product in its own right.
Jetson cards are sold as complete single card systems with on-chip, memory, storage and I/O systems that can function as commercial off-the-shelf systems.
Jetson modules are also used as the basis for the NVIDIA Jetson development kits, which provide the individual circuit boards, power supplies, and other components required to fully interact with Jetson modules.
With the launch of the Orin System-on-a-Chip in early 2022, the company is taking this opportunity to announce the next generation of Jetson products.
The company launched Jetson AGX Xavier, a $1,100 AI robotic brain in 2018.
The new version is called Jetson AGX Orin and its computing power is six times higher than Jetson AGX Xavier. Although they have the same shape and can fit in the palm of your hand.
NVIDIA launches Jetson AGX Orin
The company developed the Jetson AGX Orin as an energy-efficient supercomputer with artificial intelligence. It is intended for use in robotic, autonomous and medical devices. In addition to advanced applications of artificial intelligence that currently seem impossible.
The chip maker said the Jetson AGX Orin can perform 200 trillion operations per second. It has 17 billion transistors. It is based on Ampere GPU architecture with 2048 CUDA cores.
Contains 12 Arm Cortex-A78AE cores for Hercules CPUs. It is also equipped with new generation DLA for deep learning and visual accelerators to speed up and process tasks more efficiently.
This enables many AI applications to run. Jetson AGX Orin enables users to access company software and tools. This scalable NVIDIA Isaac Sim robot simulator app includes.
NVIDIA Isaac Sim provides a realistic and physically accurate virtual environment. Therefore, developers can test and manage AI-controlled bots.
More importantly, NVIDIA Clara Imaging and Genomics is also available for healthcare users. The company also supplies NVIDIA Drive to developers of self-driving cars.
