Nvidia's Entry-Level Robot Chip Doubles AI Speed, Cuts Power 40%
The Jetson Orin Nano 2 packs 78 TOPS, 8GB memory and eight Arm cores, arriving in robots and drones during 2027.
- Early testers include Cognex, Doosan Bobcat, Matic Robots and Alphabet's Wing.
- More than 25 hardware partners, including AAEON and Advantech, build carrier boards.
- Module and developer kit versions ship in the first half of 2027.
Why it matters: Every faster, cheaper chip asks one question: how many of Nvidia's three million developers it locks in tighter.
