Here's an article on some of the little hurdles that need to be changed to get NemoClaw running on the Jetson Orins: jetsonhacks.com/2026/03/25/nem…

Getting NemoClaw up and running on Jetson Orins is a little bit of a challenge. A Jetson Orin Nano is the smallest spec machine NemoClaw runs on. Coincidentally, here's a video on how to do exactly that: youtu.be/g2fzaLKNRLs

@HaroldSinnott @domingonarvaez1 I think people miss the part about that when an agent does a task for you, you take responsibility for that task. Lawyers won't be suing your agent. That'll bite hard in highly regulated environments, especially privacy. And it's your reputation too.

@domingonarvaez1 Thanks, @domingonarvaez1 . Great breakdown by @Jetsonhacks , really highlights how privacy and security are becoming core to deploying agentic AI at the edge, not an afterthought. 🦞 #NVIDIAGTC

@monadical @ConnectTechInc And to think, they only want money for it in exchange!

@Jetsonhacks @ConnectTechInc Oooh, want one!

When you are going from development to production, there are a lot of decisions to make. @ConnectTechInc offers the Gauntlet board for Jetson Thor to help with the transition, along with engineering services: youtu.be/ndhiJm2QOwQ

That's the relatively easy part. What about data retention? There are all sorts of rules depending on what type of business you're in. And it may not even be in your jurisdiction. For example, the EU has a very interesting position on any type of data that flows there. Not to talk about actually sensitive data.

hmmm…not sure. Illinois law might be interpreted as the ai being a bonafide agent—or alter ego of the owner. A new area of law of uncertain outcomes. They have already ruled that consulting an ai is not privileged—and further—that your own attorneys converstions with an AI destroys all privilege. and then…reddit.com/r/cars/comment… 😂😂

@Jetsonhacks i looked at your new “first principals” “agentic” Repository on Github…great! especially timely given Canonical roll-out of new ubuntu with agentic ai support and native support for Cuda and ROCm. worth watching the rollout vid if you haven’t seen it yet😉

It's much more nuanced that I thought it would be when I first started thinking about it. The basic question is "How do you interface probabilistic systems with deterministic ones?". It's beyond dangerous, but so are a lot of other things. The one thing that this hype cycle has done is given a lot of creedence to how people think their systems *should* run (revealing the opportunity). To me, more interesting than "privacy" concerns is responsibility and reputation concerns. We've heard a lot of "I hired 5 agents to run my new company". That doesn't mean much, because the owner is still responsible for all the rules and laws that govern business. The lawyers ain't going to be suing the agents! When the agent sends an email, even though it may be using the agents email address, that doesn't mean it doesn't count against the owner. And we've all sent emails that we later regret. Now the agent can send those automatically! All this is even before you bring in bad faith actors.

@Jetsonhacks I think people with some background look at the agent phenomenon as kind of a gimmick… a rather dangerous one at that…Mark Shuttleworth said even he got burned a little. but its grabbed the public imagination…and just proves that use cases can come from the strangest places😂

Building walking robots that actually walk is challenging, even if you have Jetsons on your side: youtu.be/67S9-MrqWJg?si…

We're thrilled to announce our Falcon Vehicle System has won Best In Show at Embedded World this year. Falcon won in the AI & Machine Learning category, confirming what we've believed all along: that smarter vehicle systems start with smarter foundations. connecttech.com/falcon-vehicle…

Here's a quick video on how to make the UART in the expansion header of Jetson Orins work using a device tree overlay: youtu.be/Nnrf9MgeVsA As if I need to say this every time, no llamas were hurt in the creation of this video.

JetPack 6.2.2 allows you to configure GPIO using jetson-io. Yay! But the UART on the expansion header broke ... Here's a workaround using a device tree overlay: github.com/jetsonhacks/je… If you're a brave soul, give it a try. I've test on an Orin Nano, it should work on AGX but ..

JetPack 7.1 install on Jetson AGX Thor. Upgrade, Flash from USB or CLI from a x86 PC: youtu.be/IpiZyoqQTl8

If you're running JetPack 6.2.1 on your Jetson Orin, here's how to upgrade to 6.2.2. This fixes the pesky CUDA memory allocation issue: youtu.be/iKIkjQn38no

Here's a way to fix that pesky CUDA0 memory allocation issue on JetPack 6 (L4T 36.4.7) youtu.be/uhIlrVpDQN8

@ShahhhVihaan Thank you for the kind words!

@Jetsonhacks is absolutely awesome. Been putting out videos and trouble shooting guides for jetsons since the absolute first one in 2014.

Working with SPI and GPIO on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano can be a little fussy. Here's an example using a 2" display, and how to create a custom device tree overlay for the GPIO expansion header from scratch: youtu.be/BOvVl0WT8fE
