SAN JOSE – Segway Robotics has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:) to launch the Nova Orin Developer Kit (DevKit), designed to enhance robotic development efficiency and innovation. Revealed at the NVIDIA GTC conference, the kit builds on the foundation of the previously released Nova Carter development robot, aiming to simplify and expedite the process of bringing robotic applications to market.
The Nova Orin DevKit integrates Segway’s robotic mobility expertise with NVIDIA’s AI and GPU computing technologies, creating a platform for developers to build robotic applications with advanced navigation and interaction capabilities. The kit addresses the demand for customization highlighted by feedback from the Nova Carter developer community, offering a high degree of adaptability without compromising ease of assembly and calibration.
Equipped with the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin system-on-module, the DevKit features stereo and high-speed surround cameras for 3D vision and comes preinstalled with NVIDIA Isaac platform components. This setup allows developers to immediately utilize the Isaac Perceptor stack, facilitating the development of advanced autonomous functionalities.
The Nova Orin DevKit is positioned to accelerate the creation of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for a variety of applications, including automated guided vehicles, forklifts, and delivery robots. Tony Ho, Vice President of Business Development at Segway, emphasized the kit’s role in pushing the boundaries of AI robotics and its potential to speed up innovation and success for customers.
Segway’s supply chain management expertise is also expected to help robotics companies scale their operations more effectively. The Nova Orin DevKit will be available for order starting in early April, inviting developers, researchers, and companies to explore AI robotics’ potential.
