NVIDIAWe’re seeing the advent of a new generation of “autonomous” devices — driver-less cars, drones, robots, or, you name it, that can operate by “seeing,” processing, and responding on their own.  But to exercise that almost human-like judgment requires massive amounts of computing power.

Supercomputers used to cost millions. Not so much anymore. Now it’s possible for Makers to take advantage of similarly intense processing oomph — and for just $99.

That’s the nearly 50%-off price being offered to our Make: community under an exclusive deal from graphics-powerhouse NVIDIA for its Jetson TK1 Developer Kit, its embedded systems solution. It’s like getting a big brain on a budget.

NVIDIA compares the Jetson TK1 to a supercomputer for a good reason: It offers 192 cores of the same high-performance, power-efficient NVIDIA Kepler architecture-based GPU that drives the world’s brainiest machines and top PC gaming systems.

To take advantage of this special offer just go to the NVIDIA store and order your NVIDIA Jetson TK1 developer kit. At checkout, use this promo code: MAKEJTK1.

What kind of project would use all that power? NVIDIA suggests there’s enough power in the Jetson TK1 DevKit to take on a project for a self-driving vehicle. Who says you have to take a backseat to Google, Tesla, or Apple, or any other real or reported driver-less developer?

Parrot, the giant French tech company, has been using the NVIDIA Jetson TK1 to develop drones that don’t need GPS. Instead they would have enough computing power aboard to see, process, understand, and navigate the landscape — even sudden obstacles.

The June Intelligent Oven uses the NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor — the same one at the heart of the Jetson TK1 DevKit — to make critical cooking decisions based partly on what its cameras “see,” like whether a bagel half is facing up or down.

The Jetson TK1 Developer Kit  includes the development board, AC adapter with power cord, USB Micro-B to USB A adapter, and Quick Start Guide.

NVIDIA also offers some deep resources for developers, including its online developer tools and resources site and its developer community.

    I remember when the US was concerned about selling supercomputers to the USSR because they could be used for nuclear weapons research. Now we all have supercomputers in our pockets, and we just watch cat videos. Shouldn’t we all be designing nuclear weapons?

    Or were the Soviets really just watching cat videos all those years ago?

    Thanks Make! Thanks Nvidia!

    Strange that we can see the offer but not participate. What’s the reasoning behind that? Are you concerned about English support? We clearly speak and understand English. Is it a shipping problem? I don’t mind paying for the extra shipping. If Nvidia is just too lazy to bother, that’s pretty lame. Are businesses not in the business of making money?

    In this day and age I really can’t see the justifications for not allowing anyone from anywhere order something if they are capable of completing the order unassisted. Valve does the same thing on Steam and I’ve complained about it many times. Usually they just delete my posts. Well, here’s the thing. If you don’t want to sell us your products, we’ll just buy from your competitors or we’ll buy knockoffs. At the moment, anti-consumer policies are the biggest cause for patent/copyright infringement in my opinion. I tried to buy a music album the other day. I went to 4 different websites trying to buy it legally. None of them would allow me to do so because I live in Japan. So I just gave up. They lost a customer for no good reason. If I REALLY wanted it, I could just download it for free, and probably in a higher quality format than what the legal sites offer, but I don’t care enough about short-sighted people to bother.

    You neglect your customers at your own peril. If I could order this for the discount, I would. I can’t, so I won’t. I probably won’t buy it at the full price even if it’s available, because I can find a similar device for less anyway.

    Here’s what happens when companies don’t launch internationally yet people still buy internationally. PRICE GOUGING! They’re trying to sell this this for about $1500!
