NVIDIA has introduced the Blackwell-powered Jetson AGX Thor that brings transformative compute power and energy efficiency directly at the edge.
Jetson AGX Thor delivers up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute in a highly efficient 130-watt envelope — a 7.5x increase in AI compute and 3.5x greater energy efficiency compared to its predecessor Jetson Orin. This increased power lets developers run complex, multi-modal AI workflows in real time within embedded robotics, breaking one of the primary barriers to advanced robotic interaction with people and environments.
Jetson Thor’s compute power, backed by 128GB memory, enables the deployment of the latest generative AI models, including vision-language and action systems such as NVIDIA Isaac GR00T and large language models, directly on the robot. It enables robots to process sensory data, understand human intent and interact intelligently on the edge without relying on cloud latency or connectivity.
“We’ve built Jetson Thor for the millions of developers working on robotic systems that interact with and increasingly shape the physical world. 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,” said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
Early adopters
Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, and Caterpillar are among the early adopters leveraging Jetson Thor to bring next-generation robots to manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and more.
The platform’s compatibility with NVIDIA’s software stack — Isaac for robotics development, Metropolis for vision AI, and Holoscan for sensor data — enables rapid innovation and integration across the robotics ecosystem, now serving more than two million developers and 150 hardware partners.
As robots evolve from narrow, repetitive task machines to adaptable agents capable of navigating complex, unstructured environments, local AI processing becomes crucial for safety, autonomy and real-time response.
Jetson Thor’s performance and efficiency, coupled with full-stack software support, makes it the foundation for emerging humanoid robots and critical systems.
The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor developer kit is now globally from US$3,499, with production modules and systems available through partners.
