Trossen TOTL Workstation: A Linux-Native PC for ML Research
- Aug 15, 2025
- 4 min read
The Short Version
Start with the preloaded Ubuntu 24.04 LTS build so you skip Linux setup for machine learning workflows.
Run PyTorch, CUDA, Hugging Face LeRobot, and Trossen AI software right out of the box.
Connect computer vision cameras through the multiple high-speed USB ports.
Lean on the consumer-grade NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU tuned for ML acceleration—skip the enterprise markup.
Rely on the 360mm liquid cooling for whisper-quiet, stable performance during intensive workloads.
Register for the Trossen Promise: lifetime product support and a no-cost 3-year extended warranty.
Bundle it with Trossen AI Kits for additional savings, or email sales@trossenrobotics.com with questions.

Additionally, it is backed by the Trossen Promise: lifetime product support and a no-cost 3-year extended warranty.
Why We Made It
About a year ago, Trossen Robotics began receiving requests from customers for help sourcing computers capable of handling intensive machine learning and robotics workloads. We discovered that purchasing the "right" machine was surprisingly complicated.
Here are the challenges we identified:
OS Compatibility: Many large PC manufacturers only provide official Ubuntu support on expensive enterprise systems.
Unnecessary Features: These enterprise machines often come with "professional" GPUs that are certified for workflows such as CAD, FEA, and architecture, which don't benefit machine learning tasks.
Price: Consequently, customers often end up paying thousands more for capabilities they will never use.
As a result, researchers were left to compromise on performance or overspend on irrelevant features.
The TOTL Solution
We designed the TOTL Workstation to deliver exactly what machine learning professionals need—nothing more, nothing less:
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS preloaded with PyTorch, CUDA, Hugging Face LeRobot, and more
Consumer-grade RTX GPU optimized for machine learning acceleration without the enterprise markup
Multiple high-speed USB ports for connecting computer vision cameras
Efficient 360mm liquid cooling for quiet, stable performance
Direct access to Trossen Robotics' robotics and machine learning specialists for ongoing support
Lifetime product support and a complimentary 3-year extended warranty
The Go-To Choice for AI Researchers
If you work in machine learning or robotics, the TOTL Workstation provides the performance, reliability, and support you need—without the hefty price tag associated with overbuilt enterprise systems.
You can also bundle it with the Trossen AI Kits for additional savings.
