Strengths and trade-offs

Our analysis

Strengths

Small and frugal with power.

Well understood after years in use.

Enough for running a trained vision model on the robot.

Trade-offs

Being discontinued.

About a fifth of the AI performance of the newer Orin NX.

Cannot run Nvidia's newest software.

Why robot makers choose it

Our read

The CORE I/O was designed when this was Nvidia's current small computer. Industrial products change slowly, because customers value a part that stays the same for years over the newest one.

This is our reasoning from the public facts. No maker has confirmed it.

Robots using it

This list covers only the robots researched so far. A robot missing here may still use this part.
