Start Building AI-Powered Robots for Just $59 With the Nvidia Jetson Nano 2GB Kit

Got a robotics student or a hobbyist among your friends or loved ones? Wanna start building robots as well and tinker with AI?

Now there’s a new option in town.

Nvidia just introduced the Jetson Nano 2GB, a full developer kit that comes with online training and certification for just $59.

Even at first glance, the Jetson Nano 2GB seems like a great gift on par with the Raspberry Pi, as NVIDIA wants to “make AI easily accessible for all.”

 “The new Jetson Nano is the ultimate starter AI computer that allows hands-on learning and experimentation at an incredibly affordable price,” said an NVIDIA rep.

What does it offer?

“It is supported by the NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK, which comes with NVIDIA container runtime and a full Linux software development environment. This allows developers to package their applications for Jetson with all its dependencies into a single container that is designed to work in any deployment. And it is powered by the same NVIDIA CUDA-X™ accelerated computing stack used to create breakthrough AI products in such fields as self-driving cars, industrial IoT, healthcare, smart cities and more.”

You can also see some Jetson Nano benchmarks here, to see exactly what it’s capable of. 

If the projects seem too advanced for you, NVIDIA is also selling a few almost ready-made robots powered by the new Jetson Nano.

These robotic autonomous cars would be a great gift for kids and adults alike!
