TAIPEI, May 19, 2025 — Advantech, a global leader in industrial edge computing, will present its comprehensive integration capabilities with NVIDIA Jetson Thor at COMPUTEX 2025, located at Booth K0605. Advantech will showcase the high-performance MIC-743 Edge AI platform, a streamlined, robust solution ideal for intelligent mobility, edge-based Vision Language Models (VLMs), and humanoid robotics.
The live demonstration will highlight Advantech’s proficiency in developing a complete sensor-to-inference pipeline, encompassing everything from multi-format camera input to real-time AI processing at the edge, all interconnected via high-speed Ethernet for minimal latency.
Complete Edge AI Architecture: From Sensors to Real-Time Inference
The system’s integration begins at the sensor level, with support for various camera interfaces like MIPI CSI and other high-speed industrial protocols. Sensor data is channeled through a sensor-to-Ethernet streaming platform engineered for low-latency applications and aggregated using Advantech’s high-speed sensor switch, which supports up to 2×10GbE uplinks, contingent on the system configuration. This data is then directly streamed into the MIC-742, a compact, rugged, high-performance AI computing system powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Thor module and the NVIDIA Holoscan platform.
By utilizing Camera over Ethernet and high-throughput networking, the architecture guarantees exceptionally low latency and efficient data processing, which are vital for safety-critical mobile and edge AI applications.
MIC-743: Compact Embedded Computer for Physical AI and Humanoid robotics
The MIC-743 is specifically designed for edge deployment in challenging environments, providing:
- NVIDIA Jetson Thor Module with 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS AI performance, driven by the NVIDIA Blackwell GPU.
- 128GB LPDDR5X memory, enabling the seamless operation of generative AI models, including LLMs, VLMs, and Vision Transformers.
- 1 x 100G QSFP28 + 1 x 5GbE LAN for high-bandwidth sensor input.
- Rich I/O: 4 x USB 3.2, HDMI, 4 x CAN, I2C, SIM card, audio.
- Expansion: GMSL2 camera support, M.2 NVMe, M.2 Wi-Fi, SATA, TPM.
- Rugged Design: Operable in temperatures from -10°C to 60°C, resistant to 3Grms vibration, and supports 9–36V input.
By substituting conventional x86 systems with a single ARM-based platform, the MIC-743 delivers enhanced AI performance, reduced power consumption, a smaller physical footprint, and quicker deployment, rendering it perfect for physical AI and humanoid robotics applications.
Accelerating Deployment with Ecosystem Integration
With extensive expertise in edge architecture, Advantech merges AI hardware, sensor infrastructure, and networking into a deployment-ready Edge AI solution. The MIC-743 streamlines time-to-market for applications ranging from heavy-duty machinery to humanoid robotics and autonomous systems, facilitating multi-tasking with real-time performance for vision-driven decision-making.
This integrated strategy assists customers in:
- Decreasing system complexity and deployment time.
- Optimizing form factor and energy efficiency compared to traditional setups.
- Scaling across mobility and industrial applications with minimal engineering effort.
