NVIDIA (NVDA) has announced the general availability of its groundbreaking Jetson AGX Thor robotics computer, a new system-on-module designed to serve as the brain for next-generation AI-powered robots. Priced at $3,499 for the developer kit, the Thor platform delivers unprecedented computational power for humanoid robots and other autonomous machines to perform real-time reasoning and interact intelligently with the physical world.

The new module is powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, providing a monumental leap in performance. Jetson Thor offers up to 7.5 times more AI compute and 3.5 times greater energy efficiency compared to its predecessor, Jetson Orin. This enables robots to run multiple complex generative AI models simultaneously at the edge, a critical requirement for real-time inference and operation in dynamic environments.

The platform is already being adopted by global industry leaders to advance physical AI capabilities. Early adopters and evaluators include major names such as Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Figure, and Medtronic. These companies are leveraging Thor’s server-class performance to develop robots for logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, and more.

According to NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Jetson Thor is built for the millions of developers shaping the future of robotics. “With unmatched performance and the ability to run generative AI models at the edge,” Huang stated, “Jetson Thor is the ultimate supercomputer to drive the age of physical AI and general robotics.”
