Nvidia powers up drones, robots with Jetson TX1 board

Nvidia hopes to equip drones and robots with high-performance computing capabilities with its new Jetson TX1 developer kit announced on Tuesday.The TX1 developer kit includes an uncased board with all major components on it. It is the size of a credit card, but with 1 teraflops of horsepower, delivers more performance punch than developer boards available today.Robots and drones require autonomous and smoother navigation capabilities, and the TX1 will help enable such devices, said Jesse Clayton
