Jetson Nano is a compact edge computing platform from NVIDIA designed to bring artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to small devices. It combines a multicore processor and GPU in a low-power system, allowing applications to process images, video, and sensor data locally. This makes it possible to run AI models without depending entirely on cloud services, supporting fast responses and reducing the need to continuously send data over a network.
For example, a small autonomous robot can use Jetson Nano to recognize objects through a camera, understand its surroundings, and make movement decisions. It is useful for robotics, computer vision, smart cameras, educational projects, drones, and other embedded AI applications. Its compact size, low power consumption, and accessible development environment make it suitable for prototyping and learning AI at the edge.
