Jetson

Jetson refers to a line of embedded artificial intelligence (AI) computing modules developed by NVIDIA. These modules are designed for robots, drones, and other AI-powered devices that require onboard processing capabilities for tasks such as computer vision, machine learning, and sensor fusion. The Jetson platform integrates a powerful GPU with a central processing unit (CPU) and other specialized hardware, allowing for high-performance AI inference directly on the edge.

The Jetson family offers a range of products, from the entry-level Jetson Nano for makers and students to more powerful options like the Jetson AGX Orin, which are suitable for industrial applications and complex autonomous systems. Each module runs on NVIDIA's JetPack SDK, a comprehensive software development kit that includes the CUDA-X accelerated libraries, CUDA, cuDNN, and TensorRT, enabling developers to build and deploy AI applications efficiently.

Jetson modules are widely used in various fields, including autonomous vehicles, intelligent surveillance, smart manufacturing, and agricultural technology. Their compact size, low power consumption, and robust AI capabilities make them an ideal choice for embedded systems where real-time processing and decision-making are critical. The platform's scalability allows developers to start with simpler projects and transition to more demanding applications as their needs evolve. NVIDIA continuously updates the Jetson platform with new hardware and software features to support the growing demands of the AI edge computing market.
