Depending on who you’re conversing with, the “Edge” of the IoT may have different meanings. For the sake of this article, we are going to define it as that last computer that sits between the sensors (where the data is collected) and the Cloud. It’s very close to where the data is obtained and where the action must occur.

San Jose, California. AVerMedia released its fanless AI Box PC D315AOP powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. The box PC is ideal for real-time video feeds for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), smart security, and intelligent inspection. It is delivered with a 120-pin high-speed connector for MIPI SerDes cameras and a 10GigE Vision camera connector.

St. Julians, Malta. SmartCow released its self-contained rugged edge AI camera, Sphinx, with Gigabit Ethernet 5G connectivity and NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Xavier NX system-on-modules. The Sphinx comes with dual image sensors with built-in IR illumination and low-light performance. Modular connectivity enables the easy integration of peripheral sensors such as air-quality sensors, LiDAR, and radar.

Vecow and Stereolabs have partnered to design solutions that combines Vecow Edge AI platforms and Stereolabs’ ZED stereo cameras for spatial AI applications and fast-tracking 3D vision innovations. Vecow leverages an NVIDIA Jetson Orin and NVIDIA Jetson Xavier environment in its EAC-6000, EAC-5000, EAC-3000, and EAC-2000 Series.

Embedded robotic controllers play a critical role in edge AI applications like robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and autonomous driving applications. Serving as the central processing unit and control hub, robotic controllers are tasked with managing communication and control, as well as directing the autonomous behavior and intelligent decision-making for these robotic systems.

Taipei, Taiwan. IBASE Technology Inc. launched its EC3500 edge AI computing environment powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 32GB / Jetson AGX Orin 64GB with an 8-core or a 12-core NVIDIA Arm Cortex A78AE v8.2 64-bit processor. The EC3500 integrates an NVIDIA Ampere GPU showcasing 1792 or 2048 cores supplemented by 56 or 64 Tensor Cores respectively.

Taipei, Taiwan. ASRock Industrial announced its compact iEP-6010E Series Industrial IoT Controller leveraging NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX/ Jetson Orin Nano system-on-module (SOM) with up to 100 SPARSE (50 DENSE) INT8 TOPS, two USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 (one with locking feature), two USB 2.0, and two Gigabit LAN in Basic SKU, or PoE SKU with up to two IEEE 802.3AF PoE for camera deployment.
