Hello NVIDIA Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to inquire about potential support opportunities from NVIDIA for my ongoing academic project. A team of 4 others and I, are currently working on a capstone project at Ontario Tech University that involves the development of an Autonomous Collaborative Robot System using the ROS 2 framework.
Our project aims to design and implement two self-balancing, two-wheeled robots that are capable of autonomous navigation, inspections, and package delivery. An innovative aspect of our design is the ability to connect these robots either in series or parallel configurations, enhancing their capability to transport larger packages and perform inspections. The robustness of these robots allows them to traverse rough terrain and navigate staircases, making them particularly suited for environments such as power plants and construction sites.
Given the project’s technical requirements, we are particularly interested in leveraging the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano developer kit for its advanced computational capabilities. I would like to explore if there are any available discounts or parts sponsorship opportunities for students that could assist in incorporating the Jetson Orin Nano development kit into our project.
Your support would be instrumental in advancing our research and development efforts, and I would be grateful for any information or assistance you can provide regarding this request.
Thank you for considering our inquiry. I look forward to your response.
