NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2 doubles its predecessor’s inference performance, reduces equivalent-performance power by 40%, and launches during the first half of 2027.

NVIDIA announced Jetson Orin Nano 2 as an entry-level edge-AI and robotics computer. It is intended for local inference in robots, delivery and inspection drones, and visual-AI systems rather than data-center training clusters.

The new system delivers twice the inference performance of its predecessor within the same physical form factor. NVIDIA also said it consumes 40% less power when operating at equivalent performance.

NVIDIA reported that more than 3 million developers build on its robotics technology stack. Cognex, Doosan Bobcat and home-cleaning robotics company Matic were identified as early companies adopting or evaluating Jetson Orin Nano 2.

Ecosystem partners are developing carrier boards, hardware systems and reference designs around the product. NVIDIA said Jetson Orin Nano 2 modules and kits are expected to launch in the first half of 2027.
