NVIDIA has officially announced the general availability of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor™ developer kit and production modules, advanced robotics computers engineered to accelerate the adoption of physical AI. Designed for industries including manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and retail, Jetson Thor is set to power millions of intelligent robots worldwide.
Among the first to adopt or evaluate Jetson Thor are leading organizations such as Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Figure, Hexagon, Medtronic, and Meta, with 1X, John Deere, OpenAI, and Physical Intelligence also exploring its capabilities to push the boundaries of robotics and automation.
“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. “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.”
A New Benchmark for AI-Powered Robotics
Built on the NVIDIA Blackwell GPU architecture and equipped with 128GB of memory, Jetson Thor delivers up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute within a power-efficient 130-watt profile. This leap in performance enables developers to seamlessly run the latest generative AI models at the edge.
Compared to its predecessor, NVIDIA Jetson Orin™, Jetson Thor achieves up to 7.5x higher AI compute and 3.5x better energy efficiency. This allows robots to run sophisticated models, from vision-language-action systems like NVIDIA Isaac™ GR00T N1.5 to widely used large language and vision-language models.
By enabling real-time multi-AI workflows, Jetson Thor addresses one of robotics’ biggest challenges allowing intelligent machines to interact with humans and the physical world with precision and agility. This breakthrough opens new possibilities across applications such as humanoid robotics, precision agriculture, and surgical assistance.

Backed by the NVIDIA Robotics Ecosystem
Jetson Thor integrates seamlessly with the NVIDIA Jetson™ full-stack software platform, purpose-built for physical AI and humanoid robotics. It supports all major AI frameworks and generative AI models, while maintaining full compatibility with NVIDIA’s ecosystem from cloud to edge solutions like NVIDIA Isaac for simulation and development, Isaac GR00T for humanoid foundation models, NVIDIA Metropolis for vision AI, and NVIDIA Holoscan for real-time sensor processing.
Since its debut in 2014, the NVIDIA Jetson platform has cultivated an ecosystem of over 2 million developers and more than 150 hardware, software, and sensor partners. The platform’s previous generation, Jetson Orin, has already empowered 7,000+ customers to deploy edge AI solutions across industries. With Jetson Thor, NVIDIA pushes the boundaries of what’s possible for humanoids, surgical robots, and next-generation AI agents.
Industry Leaders Embrace Jetson Thor
World-renowned robotics innovators are already building their next-generation solutions on Jetson Thor.
“The development of capable humanoid robots hinges on our ability to run powerful AI models directly on the robot, enabling real-time learning and interaction,” said Brett Adcock, founder and CEO of Figure. “NVIDIA Jetson Thor’s server-class performance, delivered within a compact and power-efficient design, allows us to deploy the large-scale generative AI models necessary for our humanoids to perceive, reason and act in complex, unstructured environments.”
“The future of robotics in logistics depends on the ability to deploy increasingly intelligent and autonomous systems,” said Tye Brady, chief technologist at Amazon Robotics. “NVIDIA Jetson Thor offers the computational horsepower and energy efficiency necessary to develop and scale the next generation of AI-powered robots that can operate safely and effectively in dynamic, real-world environments, transforming how we move and manage goods globally.”
“As autonomous machines tackle more complex tasks in our customers’ operations, edge computing is critical for real-time decision making,” said Joe Creed, CEO of Caterpillar. “NVIDIA Jetson Thor offers the AI performance we need to develop and deploy the construction and mining equipment of the future, enhancing precision, reducing waste and improving safety for our customers around the globe.”
