Nvidia is set to introduce its Jetson Thor computers in the first half of 2025, aiming to power the next generation of humanoid robots.
This development enhances Nvidia’s existing Jetson platform, renowned for compact AI application computers, by focusing on robotics to improve autonomy and human interaction. The Jetson Thor is designed to meet the complex demands of humanoid robotics, providing the necessary computational power for advanced functionalities.
Nvidia positions itself as a technology provider in the robotics sector, collaborating with companies like Siemens and Universal Robots to serve a diverse market of robot manufacturers.
While Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, is expected to enter limited production by the end of 2025, widespread deployment of production-quality humanoid robots is anticipated in the following years.
This progression signifies a significant leap in AI and mechatronics, potentially transforming industries such as manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and home assistance by addressing labor shortages and enhancing operational efficiency.
