Introduction
The NRU-160-AWP series is a rugged, IP66 waterproof edge AI computer driven by an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Orin™ Nano. Its target applications include smart city roadside installations, AI inspection in food factories, perception units for outdoor robots, and ADAS for off-highway vehicles. Furthermore, it aims to redefine rugged, wide-temperature edge AI with its waterproof features at an affordable cost, achieved through a streamlined mechanical design, carefully selected waterproof connectors and standardized cable kit.
Powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX, the NRU-160-AWP delivers superior AI inference with up to 100 sparse TOPS (INT8) and can transcode up to eighteen 1080P video streams simultaneously. Designed to accommodate various camera requirements for vision-based AI applications, the NRU-160-AWP comes in two models: the NRU-161V-AWP, which supports up to 6x GMSL2 automotive cameras with pre-built drivers for selected cameras with IMX390, ISX031, and IMX490 CMOS sensors; and the NRU-162S-AWP, which offers 4x PoE+ GbE ports for IP or industrial GigE cameras. Additionally, a waterproof GbE port is provided for data transmission with other computers or LiDAR.
The NRU-160-AWP is designed for edge deployment, whether in-cabinet, in-vehicle, or in-robot. Its compact 225 x 136 x 55 mm profile makes it ideal for confined spaces. It is equipped with an 8V to 35V wide DC input range, ignition power control, 1x CAN FD bus port, and 1x RS232 port. It also features one miniPCIe socket for CAN/ COM/ WiFi modules and one M.2 B-key socket for 4G LTE/ 5G NR mobile communication modules.
The integration of IP66 waterproof capability, Orin NX AI performance, and rich onboard camera connectivity strikes a balance between ruggedness, performance, and cost. It is a ready-to-deploy waterproof edge AI platform for smart agriculture, mining, construction, roadside applications, edge inspection, and outdoor AMRs.
