# Nvidia Unveils Jetson Orin Nano 2 for Robotics and Edge AI

**[Embedded.com](https://daily.dev/sources/embedded-com)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Nvidia introduced the Jetson Orin Nano 2, a small robotics computer aimed at delivery drones, inspection robots, and vision AI systems. It delivers 78 trillion operations per second of AI compute, 8 GB of memory, and an 8-core Arm CPU, offering twice the inference performance of the Jetson Orin Nano Super while using 40% less power at the same performance in 15-watt mode. It supports open models like Cosmos, Nemotron, Gemma 4, and Qwen 3 for local, real-time inference. An ecosystem of over 20 hardware partners is already building carrier boards and reference designs, and companies like Cognex, Doosan Bobcat, and Matic are early adopters. The module and developer kit ship in the first half of 2027.
