Key Benefits
Production-ready
Minimize your development cycle and accelerate your path to market with an industrial-grade, all-in-one, fully integrated compute and sensing solution designed to solve complex AMR challenges in large and highly dynamic environments.
3D perception
The solution features full 360-degree sensing coverage with a qualified sensor suite that encompasses six cameras (two stereo cameras and four mono), eight ultrasonics, and two IMUs sensors. Diversity and redundancy of sensors–which are fully synchronized and calibrated with simulation models, drivers, and adaptation tools–enable new functionalities and maximize uptime.
Flexible and powerful compute
Tap into some of the most advanced hardware-accelerated algorithms running at blazing speed with up to 550 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) of AI performance and high-bandwidth sensors inputs. Choose from three unique system architecture footprints with hardware and software extensions for mapping and safety.
Jetson AGX Orin
NVIDIA Isaac™ Nova Orin includes up to two Jetson AGX Orin™ high-throughput interfaces (GMSL) for high-resolution/high-speed cameras and a large number of IO ports. The sensor connectivity ensures simultaneous camera capture synchronization and global timestamping across sensors.
Jetson AGX Orin features an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU and Arm Cortex-A78AE CPUs, along with next-generation deep learning and vision accelerators. High-speed interfaces, faster memory bandwidth, and multimodal sensor support provide the ability to feed multiple concurrent AI application pipelines.
Nova Orin–more sensors for full autonomy.
Nova Orin adds more sensors to boost 3D perception around an AMR. This helps it operate in very large environments consisting of highly dynamic obstacles, other AMRs, and humans. 3D understanding also ensures higher uptime and availability.
Ultrasonic
Surrounding ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection.
Camera
A mix of wide-angle fisheye cameras for teleoperation and stereo camera for perception tasks.
Lidar
A combination of short-range 2D lidar to ensure safety and 3D lidar for navigation and mapping.
Odometry
IMU, Wheel Encoder, and GPS for precise odometry.

Advanced compute system architecture.
Get production-ready with flexibility for safety requirements.
Our autonomous system architecture supports vision-based navigation, multi-sensor localization, and mapping. It’s ideal for navigating dynamic environments in large spaces and recording events. It also supports advanced tele-operation.
In addition to all the features that our standard AMR supports, our autonomous safety PLC system architecture has safety integration for planar lidar.
In addition to all the features that our standard AMR supports, our autonomous 3D vision safety architecture features two NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin modules as main and safety computers. It runs software-defined safety models, uses 3D vision-based safety enhancing operational design domain (ODD), and implements the precision-time protocol (PTP) between these computers for synchronized time.
