Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano 2 Doubles Inference Performance to Bring LLMs to Entry Level Robotics

The new edge AI computer delivers 78 TOPS of AI compute with 8GB of memory and an 8-core Arm CPU for robots, delivery drones, and vision systems. It provides twice the inference performance of the Orin Nano Super in the same form factor and uses 40% less power to maintain the same performance in 15W mode. The hardware allows for local execution of vision-language models and LLMs, including Gemma 4 and Nemotron, without relying on cloud connectivity.

Cognex, Doosan Bobcat, and Matic are among the first adopters, while Alphabet's Wing will evaluate the module for real-time reasoning in delivery drones. Nvidia will release the module and developer kit in the first half of 2027.
