# Nvidia Announces Jetson Orin Nano 2 for Edge AI

> Nvidia has announced the Jetson Orin Nano 2, an entry-level robotics computer aimed at bringing frontier-class generative AI to edge devices. Unveiled August 24, it targets robotics and embedded applications where sending everything to the cloud is too slow, too costly, or simply impractical. The interesting part is accessibility. Nvidia is positioning this as a low-cost on-ramp for millions of developers who want capable AI running directly on hardware, from hobbyist robots to industrial sensors. Edge AI has lagged the cloud because small devices could not run modern models, and cheaper, more powerful boards chip away at that gap. If generative models can run locally on a palm-sized computer, the range of things that can see, hear, and act on their own grows quickly.
