acontis technologies and NVIDIA are partnering to deliver unmatched real-time performance for advanced robotics, from humanoids to industrial automation.
acontis technologies develops EtherCAT® MainDevice software for high-performance robotics and automation. Our solutions are trusted by leading companies worldwide to provide precise, deterministic control in demanding real-time environments.
The NVIDIA Jetson platform is the perfect complement to our EtherCAT expertise. Our EtherCAT software delivers the precision, speed, and reliability robotics demand, while NVIDIA Jetson brings powerful AI performance to the edge. This combination of powerful technologies allows robots to act in real-time while also seeing, understanding, and adapting to their environments.
This is extremely useful as today’s humanoid robotics and physical AI applications demand real-time performance. Thanks to the powerful NVIDIA Blackwell GPU and 2070 FP4 TFLOPS performance, Jetson Thor unlocks real-time reasoning capability for robots to perceive the environment and EtherCAT software from acontis enables real-time control for robots to take actions.
By combining these strengths, we’re giving developers a complete solution: deterministic EtherCAT communication, high-performance AI processing, and the flexibility to innovate beyond the limits of traditional PLC programming.
With over two decades of EtherCAT leadership, acontis provides the real-time communication foundation trusted in millions of devices worldwide. Combined with the AI processing power of NVIDIA Jetson platforms, developers can create robotics systems that are both incredibly precise and intelligent, delivering reliable, synchronized control with advanced AI-driven decision-making.
NVIDIA Jetson platforms bring high-performance AI inference to the edge, while acontis’ EtherCAT MainDevice stack, EC-Master , ensures deterministic, low-latency communication with every device in the system. Together, they provide a complete solution for robotics developers who need to integrate advanced vision, sensor fusion, and control into a unified, real-time architecture.
acontis’ EtherCAT software, running on NVIDIA Jetson hardware, enables ultra-fast communication and precise motion control across multiple axes. This combination ensures robotic systems can react instantly to sensor input and AI insights, which are critical for applications like humanoid robotics, autonomous machines, and surgical devices.
The C/C++ EtherCAT MainDevice API from acontis allows full customization of control logic and system behavior. When deployed on NVIDIA Jetson platforms, developers can combine real-time EtherCAT communication with AI frameworks, enabling innovation beyond the constraints of traditional PLC-based systems.
