Jetson Thor AI Comes to Industrial Robotics via Controller Platform

The “Robotic Controller” provides a modular approach for robotics, edge AI automation, and industrial applications.
Nov. 12, 2025

What you'll learn:

  • How the MARS400 T10-05 utilizes NVIDIA's Jetson Thor Blackwell GPU architecture for real-time robotics and machine-vision workloads.
  • Why its eight GMSL camera interfaces, four Gigabit LAN ports, and 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory allow for advanced sensor integration.

Nexcom unveiled its MARS400 T10-05 Modular Robotic Controller, designed for next-gen robotics, motion control, and edge-AI automation, at this year's Embedded World North America. The platform is powered by NVIDIA's Jetson Thor (Jetson T5000 SOM), which delivers up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI inference performance via a 2,560-core Blackwell GPU with 96 fifth-gen Tensor Cores and 10 Tensor Processing Clusters.

Memory comes in at 128 GB of 256-bit LPDDR5X RAM with a 273-GB/s bandwidth, while storage is supported via an M.2 Key M slot (PCIe×4 NVMe). On the I/O side, the platform offers 4x RJ45 Gigabit LAN ports, 4x USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, and 8x GMSL ports for high-speed camera and sensor links. It accommodates 24 to 48 V of input power.

The compact and rugged chassis, measuring approximately 172.6 × 145 × 99.5 mm, is designed for industrial environments. The MARS400 T10-05 integrates Nexom's ESC210 functional-safety system that provides a complete suite of functional-safety measures, modules, and I/O interfaces that comply with international EN 61508 and EN ISO 13849-1 standards, suiting it for humanoid robotic designs.
