Apollo is an audio/visual AI engineering kit that is built around the NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX computing module, enabling developers to build applications with conversational AI capabilities. Apollo features four microphones, two speaker terminals, two 3.5mm phone jacks, an 8MP camera module, an OLED display, and a 128GB NVMe SSD.
Apollo is also pre-packaged with NVIDIA® JetPack, DeepStream, and RIVA on Embedded SDK toolkits and six natural language processing (NLP) examples demonstrating its unique capabilities.
Create excellent results in a variety of scenarios with Vision AI and next level natural language processing (NLP). Apollo helps engineers in integrating audio and vision AI to build state-of-the-art edge solutions to real-world problems.
A functional engineering kit for your audio/video AI development needs. Focus your efforts on developing edge AI audio-visual solutions rather than on enabling peripheral devices or ensuring successful system integration.
Includes several audio and video AI applications based on NVIDIA® DeepStream and RIVA that work out-of-the-box. New examples will be added on a regular basis.
Built-in audio codec and 4x MEMS microphones.
Equipped with a 2.08 inches OLED display to view the device status.
Allows Apollo to stand upright and easy for developers to work with.

Highlighted Features
The Automatic Speech Recognition application uses the NVIDIA RIVA model to transcribe spoken language (speech-to-text).
The Text-to-Speech application uses the NVIDIA RIVA model to generate speech audio based on the input text.
The Natural Language Processing (NLP) application uses the open-source NLTK model to conduct sentiment analysis on text, determining if the tone of given text is positive or negative.
The chatbot application uses the open-source Chatterbot to create chatbot instances and run NLP tasks. Such tasks include analyzing the tone of generated text and converting text to speech audio (text-to-speech).
The Speaker Verification application is the audio equivalent of facial recognition. The application detects and identifies characteristics in a person's voice with the on-board audio kit.
At work, Apollo allows employees to automate meeting minutes, facilitate access control or translate languages for multinational teams working in the same company.
Retail stores use Apollo as an automated customer service based on chatbots, to track customer emotions, or to analyze employee and customer time and attendance management.
Equipped with automatic speech recognition, Apollo is a powerful educational tool to learn a foreign language. Apollo can also be used as an interactive blackboard or chatbot for students.
