Edge AI embedded systems for AMR applications

Compact Edge AI system for AMR applications

Designed for use in the smallest of spaces, ICP Germany is launching the NRU-154PoE and the NRU-156U3, two embedded systems with a flattop cooling design. The cooling design enables use in particularly confined spaces, such as in mobile vehicles. Thanks to the special design, the heat of the embedded system is dissipated to the vehicle housing. Nevertheless, the system is small at 116x171x27 (WDH).

Inside the embedded system is a Jetson Orin™ NX System-on-Module (SoM), which is equipped with NVIDIA® Ampere GPU and ARM Cortex CPU. Variants with 8GB and 16GB memory are available.

The NRU-154PoE has two USB2.0, one GbE, four 2.5GbE ports with PoE functionality with 50 Watt power budget, one RS-232 and one RS-485 interface.

The NRU-156U3 offers two USB 3.2 Gen2 (10Gbps) and four USB3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) instead of the 2.5GbE PoE ports in addition to the two USB2.0 interfaces.

Both systems also offer an M.2 2242 slot with M Key and PCIe x4 Gen4 signal and a micro USB port (OTG) and can be operated in a temperature range of -20 °C to 60 °C with 12VDC. Both are delivered with a pre-installed image with Jetpack 5.1.
