TES launched the latest development boards Nexus-AGXK and Nexus-NXK to create an intelligent robot "super brain."

According to Zhitong Finance APP, on September 18, Chengzhan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Chengzhan Optoelectronics") (003019.SZ) announced the official launch of its latest flagship products — Nexus-AGXK and Nexus-NXK high-performance development boards. Both development boards are equipped with NVIDIA Jetson ORIN AGX/Jetson ORIN NX high-performance processors, Ubuntu 20.04 operating system, with computing power reaching up to 275 TOPS/157 TOPS, featuring strong general computing performance, high stability, high integration, and high scalability. They aim to provide developers in the fields of intelligent robotics, machine vision, and automation control with a powerful, stable, and highly integrated AI computing platform, hailed as the brain of robots, ushering in a new era of intelligent robot applications.

AI computing platforms are reshaping the landscape of robotics and industrial IoT. The newly launched Nexus-AGXK and Nexus-NXK high-performance development boards, centered around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX/Jetson ORIN NX processors, utilize advanced 8-core/6-core or 64-bit A78 CPUs, with maximum NPU computing performance reaching 275 TOPS/157 TOPS. This enables them to easily handle complex AI models and computing tasks, such as real-time image recognition, natural language processing, and multi-sensor data fusion, laying the foundation for robots to achieve more precise and intelligent decision-making and operations.

The Nexus-AGXK and Nexus-NXK development boards not only excel in performance but also reflect practical considerations in their design, with key features including:

High Stability: Joint optimization of software and hardware, incorporating reliable firmware as a bridge, with a wide voltage power supply of 9~36V as the foundation, creating a high stability + low power consumption computing platform that allows intelligent robots to operate continuously 24/7.

High Integration: Utilizing up to 10 layers of TG170 ultra-high-density PCB, integrating a wealth of interfaces and functions within a compact size. Multiple lanes of MIPI CSI, GMSL2, 4K HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and microphone interfaces can connect multiple high-definition cameras or LiDAR, providing real-time images for intelligent robot quality inspection, obstacle avoidance, and remote monitoring. Its ultra-thin design also contributes to a more aesthetically pleasing and compact overall appearance.

High Scalability: Offering a variety of expansion interfaces, including up to 7 sets/4 sets of USB 3.0, 2 sets of RS232/RS485, 2 sets of CAN FD, as well as multiple GPIO, DI, DO, etc. At the same time, it supports various M.2 and Mini PCIe interfaces compatible with both new and old industrial communication protocols, allowing external mainstream sensors and actuators to enable intelligent robots to gain perception and action capabilities, ultimately achieving the unity of knowledge and action TES has launched two high-performance development boards, Nexus-AGXK and Nexus-NXK, aimed at creating a "super brain" for intelligent robots. These two development boards possess powerful computing capabilities and high expandability, making them ideal cores for the "perception" and "decision-making" systems of humanoid robots and robotic dogs, allowing robots to more accurately receive and process environmental information, thereby making optimal judgments. They can simultaneously process multiple high-resolution images and depth data, conduct real-time object detection and facial recognition, and connect various sensors such as vision, touch, and posture through rich interfaces, enabling robots to "see" and "feel" the world. On the decision-making level, the Nexus series development boards can efficiently run complex AI algorithms, dynamically plan movement trajectories based on real-time perception information, and coordinate multiple tasks, paving the way for the commercialization of humanoid robots.

Mr. Li Mingfang, General Manager of TES, stated: "The booming development of the intelligent robotics industry has raised higher demands for high-performance and high-stability AI computing platforms. We officially launch the Nexus series development boards to provide a powerful tool for developers worldwide, helping them break through technical bottlenecks and accelerate the transition of innovative products from concept to market. This not only symbolizes TES's formal entry into the intelligent computing field from touch embedded solutions, becoming a comprehensive solution provider, but we also look forward to collaborating with global developers to jointly open a new chapter in the intelligent robotics industry."

TES's Nexus-AGXK and Nexus-NXK high-performance development boards are currently available for pre-order, initially adapting to entry-level intelligent robots, robotic dogs, and other applications, laying the foundation for the next generation of intelligent robotic devices. They can also be widely applied in smart firefighting, smart construction sites, industrial quality inspection, autonomous vehicles, smart agriculture, intelligent sorting machines, cloud servers, smart NVRs, the metaverse, ARM PCs, security, healthcare, transportation, finance, industrial control, education, retail, and other fields. At the same time, the Thor series 2000 TOPS ultra-high-performance development board has also entered testing, planned for advanced intelligent robots and high-complexity AI systems, expected to be released by the end of 2025. The two generations of development board products complement each other and, combined with touch display devices, will inject powerful momentum into the industrial Internet of Things and future AI applications.
