NemoClaw & OpenShell on Jetson — Edge Manipulation and Functional Behavior
Published:
Enabled NemoClaw and OpenShell to run on Jetson AGX Orin and Orin Super Nano, bringing NVIDIA’s manipulation and functional behavior models to edge robotics platforms.
What Are NemoClaw & OpenShell?
- NemoClaw — NVIDIA’s manipulation policy framework for dexterous robot grasping and object handling
- OpenShell — A functional behavior system for robots to perform complex multi-step tasks
Technical Achievements
- Optimized inference pipelines for Jetson’s constrained compute envelope
- Containerized deployment for reproducible edge robotics workflows
- Demonstrated real-time manipulation on affordable hardware platforms
- Enables researchers and developers without data center access to work with state-of-the-art manipulation models
Impact
This work democratizes access to advanced manipulation AI — researchers and developers can now prototype and deploy sophisticated robot manipulation behaviors on hardware costing a fraction of data center systems.
