AAEON and Intel provide support for Windows 11 64-bit and Ubuntu 24.04/25.04 and later. You may wonder why it’s called an “open robotics development system”. It’s apparently because it’s supported by the Open Edge Platform, and Intel provides reference setup scripts for various kinds of Intel platforms and GPUs on supported systems. The CEXD kit is not listed on that page yet, but it is on the Intel website, and the scripts might be the same as for the UP Xtreme PTL Edge SBC. You can also watch a video demo with two robotics arms (leader/follower) using the CEXD-INTRBL system below.
AAEON sells the CEXD-INTRBL open robotics development systems on its eShop for $3,200 (pre-order, availability by the end of June). A few more details may also be found on the product page.
