JetBot is an open-source AI robot platform that NVIDIA built on its own AI development kit, the Jetson Nano. The Jetson Nano brings new capability to compact, powerful AI edge devices and embedded IoT.
A JetBot powered by the Jetson Nano can drive using image recognition. Unlike an ordinary single-board computer, its GPU speeds up AI model inference and reduces latency for real-time recognition.
With the release of the new Jetson Nano 2GB, iCShop built a lightweight version of the JetBot. Although it is lighter, its computing performance is unchanged and is sufficient to run the full JetBot project. To suit the Jetson Nano 2GB, we also adjusted the accessories, for example replacing the original M.2 wireless card with a USB adapter. Based on our past teaching experience, we removed unnecessary parts, changed the gear ratio of the gear motors, and lowered the price. It is a teaching kit well suited to learners starting out with JetBot projects.
