I know that this forum is more for technical support, but this was one of the closest options I could find to asking for support. I am in my last year of my undergraduate degree and am doing a robotics capstone project, where I am putting together a bipedal robot and am hoping to do real time text to speech, and 3D SLAM with 2 Monocular cameras.
The amount of compute this project may need is pretty high for a bipedal, but the Orin nano seems like a great option. The only issue is tight budget constraints for projects, which is why I wanted to ask if there was any way Nvidia could sponsor a project like this (i.e. loan or provide a jetson orin nano), or… is there a possibility for a cheaper price for students?
Thanks!
