We recently received our NVIDIA Jetson TX2 Developer Kit ($630 out the door from Arrow.com). Note that the raw module itself is not usable to most users without the dev kit. The Jetson is being used for a social robotics project called Romi, where the ability to run voice and sensor activity fast and locally is paramount. While the cost is significantly higher than a Raspberry Pi or Arduino, it’s way faster. We are expecting it to function as a high performing AWS Linux box with powerful image and voice processing (hopefully). It runs a desktop version of Ubuntu.
The Jetson SDK also seems to only run on a Linux machine and as was expected for such a new product a little hard to follow. Stay tuned as we start to install applications.
