For a UGV, here's how the two Connect Tech Sentry systems compare on the three attributes you asked about. Both are catalog-listed and active.
| Attribute | Sentry-X2 | Sentry-X2 Mini |
|---|---|---|
| Max AI performance | 248 TOPS (Jetson AGX Orin Industrial) | 100 TOPS (Jetson Orin NX 16GB); 157 TOPS in Super mode |
| Operating temperature | -40 °C to 70 °C | -20 °C to 70 °C |
| Weight | 3500 g | 1500 g |
Key differences for a UGV:
- AI throughput: The Sentry-X2 delivers roughly 2.5x the TOPS of the Mini in default mode (248 vs. 100 TOPS), and the Mini reaches 157 TOPS only in its Super mode — still well below the full-size unit. Note these are INT8 figures (sparse for these Orin-generation products). If your UGV runs multiple camera streams, sensor fusion, or heavy perception stacks, the X2 has substantially more headroom.
- Temperature range: The X2 is rated from -40 °C, making it the safer choice if your vehicle will cold-start in extreme winter conditions; the Mini bottoms out at -20 °C. Both top out at 70 °C. Note the Mini's operating limits depend on configuration, per its datasheet.
- Weight: The Mini is less than half the weight (1.5 kg vs. 3.5 kg) and notably more compact, which matters for small or weight-constrained UGV platforms.
Bottom line: If your UGV has the mass budget and payload volume — or will operate in sub -20 °C environments — the Sentry-X2 is the stronger pick. If you need a lightweight, compact AI computer and your workload fits within ~100–157 TOPS in milder cold, the Mini saves you 2 kg. Both are MIL-rugged (MIL-STD-810H, DO-160H, MIL-STD-461G) and IP67-rated, so environmental survivability is comparable on the shock/vibration/moisture side.
