Introduction

The NRU-160-FT is a Jetson Orin™ NX/Orin™ Nano Edge AI computer with a flattop heatsink optimized for conduction cooling when mounted inside waterproof enclosures for smart agriculture, dustproof cabinets for factories, junction boxes for roadside deployment, or robot chassis for outdoor AMRs.

Powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/ Orin™ Nano, the NRU-160-FT series delivers up to 100 sparse TOPS (INT8) of AI inference and can transcode up to eighteen 1080p video streams simultaneously with only 25W of power consumption. Designed to connect with a variety of cameras and sensors for autonomy, ADAS, or AI inspection, the NRU-160-FT comes in two models: the NRU-161V-FT, which supports six GMSL2 automotive cameras with pre-built drivers for selected IMX390, ISX031, and IMX490 CMOS sensors; and the NRU-162S-FT, which offers four PoE+ GbE ports for IP or industrial GigE cameras. An additional M12 GbE port is provided for data transmission to other computers or LiDAR.

The NRU-160-FT is designed for edge deployment in cabinets or robots, particularly in mobile applications. Its flattop heatsink not only leverages the metal enclosure as a heatsink extension but also allows the NRU-160-FT to operate at out-cabinet temperatures, typically 10–15 °C lower than in-cabinet temperatures, while its compact 199 × 136 × 49 mm low-profile footprint makes it ideal for confined spaces. All M12 and FAKRA connectors provide reliable shock and vibration resistance. The system supports an 8–35 V wide DC input range, ignition power control, one CAN FD bus port, and one RS-232 port. It also features a mini-PCIe socket for CAN/COM/Wi-Fi modules and an M.2 B-key socket for 4G LTE/5G NR mobile communication modules.

The integration of a flattop heatsink, Orin™ NX/ Orin™ Nano AI performance, and versatile onboard camera connectivity strikes a balance between ruggedness, performance, and cost. It is a ready-to-deploy edge AI platform designed to be mounted against the inner wall of a sealed cabinet for smart agriculture, mining, construction, roadside applications, and edge inspection.
