Nvidia’s Jetson Thor robot offering now available, company says

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) said its Blackwell-powered Jetson AGX Thor developer kit and production modules are now generally available, as the company looks to robotics to boost growth.

The developer kit, which costs $3,499, is powered by an Nvidia Blackwell GPU and comes with 128GB of memory to help robotics companies run the latest artificial intelligence models. It offers up to 7.5 times higher AI compute and 3.5 times greater energy efficiency than its predecessor, the Nvidia Jetson Orin, the company added.

“We’ve built Jetson Thor for the millions of developers working on robotic systems that interact with and increasingly shape the physical world,” said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang in a statement. “With unmatched performance and energy efficiency, and the ability to run multiple generative AI models at the edge, Jetson Thor is the ultimate supercomputer to drive the age of physical AI and general robotics.”

Companies that have incorporated robotics into their offerings, such as Figure, Amazon (AMZN) and Caterpillar (CAT), have already infused Nvidia’s Jetson Thor into their offerings.

Nvidia shares rose 1.5% in early trading on Monday.
