Enquiry for suitable jetson for Visual Slam and NvBox application

My aim is to complete isaac ros visual slam using realsense camera D435i and navigation nav2 using Nvblox.

I have done the tutorial for visual slam using x86_64 platform in my laptop, then I plan to continue the navigation part on robot using a jetson. However, I need to know that if Jetson Orin Nano 8gb is capable to complete the tasks (receiving data from realsense, visual slam, and navigation) because I saw that Nvblox tutorial is not recommending Jetson Orin Nano 4gb.

I am completely beginner in using jetson, I also concern about financial issues for choosing the suitable jetson for my project (Jetson AGX Orin is too expensive for me). I hope to get some advices for choosing jetson from people who are more expert and more experienced. Thank you very much.

Hi @wongpeisen

If you plan to use only vslam and NVblox on your application, an Orin Nano 8gb works, but maybe it is not enough to run other software.

There is also the Orin NX that has on the max configuration 16Gb of memory: NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin
