Overview
Edge supercomputing for the next generation of cobots and humanoid robots
As AMRs, humanoid robots and high-definition vision systems evolve, conventional edge processors reach their limits when combining multiple high-resolution sensors with deterministic real-time control, including EtherCAT Master communication.
The AIE-KT78/68 is Aetina’s flagship Edge AI system. Powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Thor™ T5000 or T4000, it brings server-class Blackwell performance directly to the field, enabling on-device multimodal generative AI with zero cloud latency and full data protection.
Its combination of extreme computing performance, high-bandwidth communications and rugged industrial design reduces integration cycles and total system cost. In cobots, it can run Vision-Language-Action models fully offline, turning rigid machines into cognitive partners that understand, collaborate safely and adapt quickly to new tasks.
Available configurations
- AIE-KT78: NVIDIA Jetson T5000, up to 2070 TFLOPS FP4 and 128 GB LPDDR5X.
- AIE-KT68: NVIDIA Jetson T4000, up to 1200 TFLOPS FP4 and 64 GB LPDDR5X.
