Nvidia Launches Jetson Thor to Advance Robotics and AI Applications
Nvidia has released the Jetson AGX Thor developer kit and production modules, offering enhanced AI computing capabilities for robotics and AI applications.
Nvidia has announced the general availability of its Jetson AGX Thor developer kit and production modules, designed to enhance AI computing in robotics and AI applications. The Jetson Thor, powered by Nvidia's Blackwell GPU architecture, delivers up to 2,070 teraflops of AI compute, offering 7.5 times more AI compute and 3.5 times greater energy efficiency compared to its predecessor, the Jetson Orin. This advancement enables real-time reasoning inference, crucial for high-performance physical AI applications.
Early adopters of the Jetson Thor include industry leaders such as Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Figure, Hexagon, Medtronic, and Meta. Additionally, companies like 1X, John Deere, OpenAI, and Physical Intelligence are evaluating the platform to advance their physical AI capabilities.
The Jetson AGX Thor developer kit is available now starting at $3,499, with production modules also available through Nvidia's distribution partners.
"We've built Jetson Thor for the millions of developers working on robotic systems that interact with and increasingly shape the physical world," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia.
The Jetson Thor platform is expected to accelerate the development of advanced robotics across various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, transportation, healthcare, agriculture, and retail.
