The high-performance, pre-configured AI workstation is reported to deliver high levels of speed, reliability, and convenience for machine learning workflows.
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.—A Linux-native, high-performance desktop PC developed by Trossen Robotics is engineered to meet the specific needs of robotic machine learning and AI researchers and engineers, the company said in a release.
Trossen Robotics said the TOTL Workstation is a “direct response to the frustrations many researchers and engineers face when buying computers through mainstream retail or enterprise procurement channels.” Such frustrations include limited connectivity, poor Linux compatibility, bloated software environments, and limited or costly GPU options. The TOTL is reported to sidestep these problems with a “clean, purpose-built solution that’s ready to work out of the box.”
“We’ve spent years supplying hardware to some of the most advanced AI research labs in the world, and we kept hearing the same story: Buying a good Linux-compatible machine with the right GPU was either a headache or extremely expensive,” said Matt Trossen, CEO of Trossen Robotics, in the release. “So we decided to build the workstation we all wanted, and do it the right way.”
Unlike traditional OEM systems that can force customers into overpriced configurations with unnecessary driver certifications, TOTL is said to keep pricing transparent and performance-focused. Systems are built in-house, validated under machine learning workloads, and supported by the same engineers who make the robotic systems that researchers use, the company said in the release.
“TOTL is for people who want to train faster, simulate smarter, and spend less time fighting their hardware,” said Marc Dostie, product marketing lead at Trossen, in the release. “If you’re building robotics systems, running large models, or working in Linux, this is the system that actually respects your time.”
A developer of robotics and machine learning hardware, Trossen Robotics provides research-grade systems to organizations such as Google DeepMind, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, and numerous other labs worldwide.
“From robotic arms to AI development platforms, Trossen supports the future of embodied intelligence through practical, reliable, and accessible hardware solutions,” the release stated.
