Hello NVIDIA Team,
We are a student team from Electronics and Robotics Club, BITS Pilani Goa Campus, working on an autonomous drone project that aims to track and intercept a moving object (e.g., a tennis ball) in real-time using AI-driven computer vision. This requires high-performance edge computing for real-time image processing and AI inference, making the Jetson Orin Nano an ideal choice for our project.
We are seeking support in acquiring a Jetson Orin Nano through sponsorship or academic discounts to help us implement real-time object tracking and motion prediction onboard our drone.
Why Jetson Orin Nano?
Real-time AI inference: Needed for tracking, motion prediction, and drone control.
-
Low power, high performance: Essential for efficient processing on an autonomous UAV.
-
CUDA & TensorRT support: Enables optimized deep learning models for onboard vision tasks.
Project Overview: -
Goal: Develop an AI-powered drone capable of detecting, predicting, and intercepting a moving object.
-
Technology Stack: Jetson Orin Nano, YOLO/Object Detection, Kalman Filters, PID-based flight control.
*Applications: Smart drone retrieval systems, autonomous sports analysis, and AI-powered robotics research.
We would be grateful for any guidance on academic sponsorships, developer grants, or discounted hardware programs that could support our project. Looking forward to your response!
Best regards,
Harikrishnan V
