The NRU-160-AWP series is a compact and rugged edge AI platform with IP66 waterproof protection, built on the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Orin™ Nano. It is engineered for demanding use cases such as roadside smart city systems, AI-based inspection, outdoor robotic perception, and advanced driver assistance functions. By combining a simplified mechanical structure, carefully chosen waterproof connectors, and a standard cable kit, the system delivers wide-temperature rugged AI capability at an affordable cost.
With the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX module, the NRU-160-AWP provides up to 100 sparse TOPS (INT8) for AI inference and supports transcoding of as many as eighteen simultaneous 1080P video streams.
To meet different camera integration needs, the series is available in two versions. The NRU-161V-AWP connects to as many as six GMSL2 automotive cameras, with built-in drivers for models using IMX390, ISX031, and IMX490 CMOS sensors. The NRU-162S-AWP instead provides four PoE+ GbE interfaces for IP or industrial GigE cameras. Both versions also include a waterproof GbE connection for linking with external computers or LiDAR systems.
The system is tailored for deployment in tight or mobile environments including such as autonomous vehicles and robots. Measuring 225 x 136 x 55 mm, it supports an input voltage range of 8V to 35V, ignition-controlled power, a CAN FD bus port, and an RS232 interface. Expansion options include a miniPCIe slot for CAN, COM, or WiFi modules and an M.2 B-key socket for 4G LTE or 5G NR communications.
By combining IP66-grade protection, high-performance Orin NX computing, and versatile camera connectivity, the NRU-160-AWP balances durability, performance, and cost efficiency. It provides a ready-to-use waterproof AI edge solution suitable for applications in agriculture, mining, construction, transportation infrastructure, automated inspection, and outdoor autonomous mobile robots.
