Jetson Orin Nano powering autonomous UAV at SUAS 2026 — Team TRINETRA, India 🇮🇳

We are Team TRINETRA from Madhav Institute of Technology & Science, Gwalior, India — a student UAV team competing at SUAS 2026 (USA), one of the world’s most prestigious collegiate UAV competitions.

Our entire autonomy stack runs on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano — real-time object detection, autonomous waypoint navigation, and onboard mission execution.

We are one of very few Indian teams among 75+ international participants, and we are confirmed to fly.

We are looking to connect with NVIDIA’s Jetson education or developer relations team for:
→ Jetson hardware support
→ Travel sponsorship to reach the USA
→ Amplification from NVIDIA’s robotics/developer channels

Is there someone from NVIDIA we can connect with directly?

Thanks for your interest in building with NVIDIA Jetson. Sponsorship requests aren’t handled directly through the forum, but you may want to explore the NVIDIA Academic Grant Program for Researchers, which is one avenue where teams and researchers can apply for hardware support:
