$4,290+ Unitree R1-A5 and R2-A7 humanoid robots features grippers or dexterous hands, fixed or wheeled base

Unitree has extended its R1 dual‑arm humanoid robot family with new R1-A5 and R1-A7 models, which can be fitted with 2-finger grippers or 3 or 5-finger dexterous hands, and attached to a fixed base or a wheeled base for indoor mobility. The new robots appear based on the low-cost Unitree R1 platform launched last year, which can dance, walk, run, perform kung-fu moves, and chat with users, but is otherwise not overly useful since it lacks dexterous hands. The R1-A5 and R1-A7 won't be able to dance, since they don't come with legs, but the upper body comes with a head and two arms equipped with grippers or dexterous hands, which could perform useful tasks in combination with binocular vision. Four new models are available with the following specifications: They mostly share the same specifications, but the R1-A7 has longer arms and adds 4 degrees of freedom (2 extra per

NVIDIA phases out several Jetson modules due to high LPDDR4 RAM prices and tight supplies

Following the well-advertised Raspberry Pi 4/5 price hikes, we've just written an article about some SBCs quadrupling in price since 2024 due to RAM price increases, and another victim appears to be NVIDIA Jetson modules relying on LPDDR4 memory. That's according to a lifecycle update by Connect Tech that claims that "due to changes in global DRAM market dynamics, NVIDIA has indicated that supply and pricing for LPDDR4-based modules have become increasingly constrained. As a result, NVIDIA is accelerating End-of-Life (EOL) timelines for" specific modules. Four families are impacted: NVIDIA Jetson TX2 NX (4GB and 8GB) NVIDIA Jetson TX2i (all SKUs) NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier (32GB and Industrial) NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX All these modules were released in 2021 or before. The end-of-life timeline is as follows: Now - All new purchase orders for products integrating TX2 NX, TX2i, AGX Xavier, and Xavier NX modules are Non-Cancelable, Non-Returnable (NCNR) July

Select the right hardware for your local LLM deployment with this online guide

When it comes to deploying local LLMs, many people may think that spending more money will deliver more performance, but it's far from reality.  That's why Sipeed created the "AI Agent Local LLM Inference Device Deployment Guide" hosted on the llmdev.guide website. The website lists common hardware with price, performance (tokens/s), power consumption, and more for various LLMs. If we take Qwen3.5 9B as an example, we can see that $4K+ hardware like NVIDIA DGX Spark or Apple Mac Studio  M3 delivers about the same TPS as a machine equipped with a $260 Intel Arc B580 12GB GPU. If money is no object and you'd like the best performance, the NVIDIA GTX 5090 32GB makes the most sense. I reckon the price comparison is imperfect because some data points reflect the price of a complete system, while others only list the price of a graphics card. However, for Qwen 122B-A10B,

 boosts appreciated

genuinely, nvidia pisses me off SO much that I am willing to entirely switch platforms from this shit. is there any alternative to a nvidia jetson for using with ros for robotics-type applications? (example) I need hardware acceleration because I'm going to be:

  • doing SLAM on LiDAR data & several video streams (using RTAB-Map)
  • running some ML models on the video streams
  • hardware encoding of video streams (some of this has already been offloaded to dedicated devices, however I'm still going to need to do it for some other streams which don't use those devices)

willing to use something that isn't as dedicated to open source, so long as it's reasonably supported.
bonus points for open source, though
