The NVIDIA Jetson family, comprising the most recent Jetson AGX Orin and its predecessors, the Xavier series, the TX2 and Jetson Nano, is a series of System-on-Modules (SoM) designed to satisfy a range of applications. From basic Edge AI to fully autonomous machines, the Jetson series is a staple for industrial processes that require a powerful and compact embedded module.
The most powerful addition to the Jetson family, the AGX Orin achieves the highest TOPS at 200 trillion per second at minimum, making it an efficient option for the most intense Edge AI applications. Comparatively, the entry-level Jetson Nano offers an excellent cost-to-performance ratio for basic Edge AI applications, with the Jetson TX2 adding some extra processing grunt to allow for flexible integrations into automation control through the rich IO features. The Xavier NX packs significant AI number crunching power into a module the size of the Nano, producing a perfect platform for more advanced embedded and machine control applications. Finally, the Xavier AGX packs workstation-grade power into a small form factor, bringing with it capabilities for Robotics, AGVs and Industrial Control applications at the Edge.
