Introducing the Trossen TOTL Workstation: A Linux-Native PC Built for Robotic Machine Learning Research

The Trossen TOTL Workstation is our solution to a recurring challenge in the machine learning and robotics community: finding a workstation that is powerful, Linux-friendly, and optimized for machine learning workflows—without the burden of unnecessary features and costs.

What is the TOTL Workstation?

TOTL stands for "Top Of The Line," and we stand by that claim. This Linux-based high-performance desktop is specifically designed for machine learning researchers and engineers. It comes preloaded with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and a carefully selected set of essential machine learning tools, including Hugging Face LeRobot, CUDA, our Trossen AI software, and more.

Inside, you will find top-tier hardware:

• Intel Core Ultra 9 285k

• NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU

• 64GB DDR5 RAM

• 2TB Gen5 SSD

• 360mm liquid cooling for whisper-quiet operation

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, we began receiving requests from customers for assistance in sourcing computers capable of handling intensive machine learning and robotics workloads. We discovered that purchasing the "right" machine was surprisingly complicated. Here are some of 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 our 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 our Trossen AI Kits for additional savings.
