Edge AI & Perception
Depth cameras, LiDAR, and computer vision on Jetson and Raspberry Pi.
What is "edge AI"?
Running AI models directly on a device (Jetson, Raspberry Pi) instead of sending data to the cloud. Lower latency, no internet needed, and privacy-preserving.
Selection Guides
| Guide | Compares | When to Read |
|---|---|---|
| Depth Camera Selection | Orbbec vs Intel RealSense | You need 3D vision for robot navigation or SLAM |
| LiDAR Selection | Livox vs Hesai vs RoboSense | You need long-range outdoor sensing |
Platform Quickstarts
| Platform | Best For | Setup Time |
|---|---|---|
| Jetson Orin | Object detection, SLAM, LLM inference | ~30 min (JetPack flash) |
| Raspberry Pi 5 | Camera projects, USB devices | ~15 min (OS install) |
