Nvidia Plans 2025 Launch of Jetson Thor Computers for Humanoid Robotics

The compact computing systems aim to support advancements in physical AI as Nvidia shifts focus toward robotics innovation.

Nvidia is reportedly set to launch its Jetson Thor compact computers for humanoid robots in the first half of 2025, according to statements from company executives.
The move reflects Nvidia's strategic pivot toward robotics as it faces growing competition in its core AI chip business from companies like AMD, Google, and Amazon.
Nvidia’s Vice President of Robotics, Deepu Talla, described the current robotics landscape as reaching a 'tipping point,' driven by generative AI models and simulation-based robot training.
The robotics market is projected to grow from $78 billion in 2024 to $165 billion by 2029, with Nvidia aiming to position itself as a leading platform provider for robotics hardware and software ecosystems.
Nvidia has invested in robotics startups like Figure AI and Apptronik, and its Jetson Thor systems will build on existing technologies such as its Omniverse simulation platform and Isaac software stack.
