Release timeline: The module and developer kit are expected in the first half of 2027.
- Performance jump: Jetson Orin Nano 2 delivers 78 trillion operations per second and twice the inference performance of Jetson Orin Nano Super.
- Power efficiency: In 15-watt mode, the module uses 40% less power while maintaining predecessor-level performance.
- Target applications: The platform supports AI-enabled robots, delivery and inspection drones, and vision AI systems.
- Ecosystem adoption: Wing and Matic Robots are among early users, with more than 3 million developers on NVIDIA's robotics stack.
NVIDIA has announced the Jetson Orin Nano 2, a robotics computer designed for entry-level edge AI applications. The platform targets developers building AI-enabled robots, delivery and inspection drones, and vision AI systems — workloads that demand compact, energy-efficient compute at the edge.
Hardware specifications
Jetson Orin Nano 2 provides 78 trillion operations per second of AI compute, 8GB of memory, and an 8-core Arm CPU. The system is designed to support AI and video-processing workloads while maintaining a compact form factor and low power consumption.
The generational performance claims are notable:
"Jetson Orin Nano 2 provides twice the inference performance of Jetson Orin Nano Super through updated Tensor Cores and higher memory bandwidth."
"In 15-watt mode, it is designed to use 40% less power while delivering the same performance as its predecessor."
For engineers designing power-constrained edge systems, that efficiency curve matters as much as raw throughput.
Software stack and model support
The platform uses NVIDIA's software stack and Jetson agent skills. Developers can run large language models and vision-language models optimized for memory-efficient edge inference, including NVIDIA Cosmos, NVIDIA Nemotron, Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.
The ecosystem behind it is substantial: more than 3 million developers are building applications using NVIDIA's robotics stack.
Early adopters and partners
Cognex, Doosan Bobcat and Matic are among the companies adopting or evaluating Jetson Orin Nano 2.
Wing, an Alphabet subsidiary that operates drone delivery services, uses Jetson Orin Nano Super and NVIDIA software in its delivery drone fleet. The company plans to evaluate Jetson Orin Nano 2 for real-time AI perception and reasoning in its delivery operations.
Matic Robots is adopting Jetson Orin Nano 2 for its home cleaning robots, where the platform is intended to support conversational AI, gesture detection, home mapping, semantic understanding and autonomous cleaning functions.
On the hardware ecosystem side, AAEON, ADLINK, Advantech, Aetina, Antmicro, Aptiv, Auvidea, AVerMedia, Chuanglebo, Connect Tech, ForeCR, JWIPC, Neurealm, Plink, Realtimes, RidgeRun, RS, Seeed Studio, Tauro Tech, Twowin, TZTEK and YUAN are among the Jetson partners developing carrier boards, hardware systems, AI software and reference solutions based on the platform.
