Description Seeed Studio reComputer Mini J3011 with Extension is a compact edge AI computer built around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB module. It delivers up to 40 TOPS of AI performance and adds a dedicated extension board underneath the Mini platform, making it much more practical for robots, drones, patrol systems, delivery robots, battery-powered devices, and embedded AI platforms that need richer connectivity. Compared with the standard reComputer Mini J3011, this version is designed for projects that need more interfaces and easier system integration. The extension board expands the platform with up to 8 USB ports, dual CAN, I2C, SPI, and additional XT30 power connectors, while the main system still keeps its compact size, 128GB NVMe SSD, and JetPack 6.0 pre-installed. This SKU is especially useful for compact autonomous machines. If you want the lower-cost and lower-power Orin Nano 8GB tier, but still need extension-board flexibility for custom robotics and edge hardware, the Mini J3011 with Extension is one of the most practical reComputer Mini options. Features Jetson Orin Nano 8GB performance: Up to 40 TOPS for edge AI inference, robotics, machine vision, and intelligent automation. Extension-ready hardware platform: Adds a bottom expansion board for up to 8 USB ports, dual CAN, I2C, and SPI. Wide-voltage input for mobile systems: Supports 12V-54V DC, which is especially useful for drones, robots, and field-powered edge devices. Compact embedded design: Keeps the Mini series size advantage while giving you much more connectivity than the base Mini J3011. Deployment-friendly setup: Includes 128GB NVMe SSD and ships with JetPack 6.0 pre-installed.

Product List reComputer Mini J3011 (with Extension) x1 Antenna x2 XT30 to DC power connector x1 Other Content The extension board is the biggest reason to choose this SKU over the base Mini J3011. If your project needs more USB devices, more control buses, or easier integration with sensors and actuators, this version is much more practical than the standard Mini J3011. For AI video workloads, you can review the official YOLOv8 DeepStream multi-stream benchmarks to get a clearer sense of Jetson video analytics performance. If you want a faster software bring-up path, Seeed also provides Jetson example projects covering generative AI and computer vision workflows. If you do not need the extension board, the more compact reComputer Mini J3011 is worth comparing. If you want a stronger Orin NX model with extension support, compare it with the reComputer Mini J4012 with Extension. For the broader lineup, the reComputer selection page is also useful.
