🤖 Robotic Revolution from Aetina: AI Integration with AIE-KT78/68!

[Cengiz Özemli]

🚀 Groundbreaking Solution for Next-Generation Robots​

Aetina has introduced the AIE-KT78 and AIE-KT68, new edge AI systems that are game-changers in the world of robotics. These flagship systems are powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor and combine the sensing, decision-making, and control capabilities of robots into a single compact device. Specifically designed for collaborative robots (cobots), humanoid robots, and autonomous machines, these systems enable robots to move more intelligently and autonomously in real-world environments.

🧠 Powerful AI Performance​

Responding to the increasing processing power needs of robots, the AIE-KT78 and AIE-KT68 support local multimodal generative AI, large language models (LLMs), visual-language models (VLMs), and visual-language-action (VLA) models. This reduces cloud latency while strengthening data control.

• AIE-KT78: Features an NVIDIA Jetson T5000 module with 128GB LPDDR5X memory, offering up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI performance.
  
• AIE-KT68: Features an NVIDIA Jetson T4000 module with 64GB LPDDR5X memory, providing up to 1,200 FP4 TFLOPS of performance.
  

👁️‍🗨️ From Perception to Action: Sensor Fusion and Real-Time Decision Making​

The AIE-KT78/68 allows robots to run advanced VLA models locally. This integrates processes such as visual perception, language understanding, and action generation into a single decision-making pipeline, enabling robots to interpret environmental context and respond in real-time.

• It includes QSFP28 and dual RJ45 10GbE ports to process large data streams from high-resolution cameras, 3D LiDAR, radar, and other industrial sensors.
  
• With support for up to 8 GMSL2 camera inputs, it provides high bandwidth for multi-view environmental sensing and spatial understanding.
  

⚙️ Industrial Control and Connectivity​

A dedicated RJ45 1GbE EtherCAT port, functioning as an independent EtherCAT Master, tightly couples AI inference with motors, joints, and actuators with millisecond-level synchronization. This integration combines sensing, decision-making, and deterministic control into a single system, enabling cobots and humanoid robots to operate more flexibly and safely.

💪 Robust Design and Flexible Expansion​

With a thickness of only 80mm, this compact system can operate stably in a wide temperature range from -25°C to +55°C. Equipped with features such as USB 3.2, isolated digital I/O, and M.2 expansion slots, the system runs on Linux, compatible with NVIDIA's entire AI software stack, including JetPack 7, CUDA, and TensorRT.

💡 Aetina's Visionary Approach​

Richard Hung, Vice President of Aetina's Product Division, stated, "The competitive advantage for cobots and humanoid robots has shifted from the processing performance of a single model to whether it can integrate perception, reasoning, decision-making, and action in real-time in real-world environments." As an NVIDIA Elite Partner, Aetina offers over a decade of edge AI engineering experience to help developers reduce integration risk and total cost of ownership.
