NVIDIA Blackwell-Powered Jetson Thor available

Jetson Thor offers 7.5x more AI compute and 3.5x greater energy efficiency compared with its predecessor, Jetson Orin.

NVIDIA announced the general availability of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor developer kit and production modules, new robotics computers designed to power millions of robots across industries including manufacturing, logistics, transportation, healthcare, agriculture and retail.

Early adopters include industry leaders Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Figure, Hexagon, Medtronic and Meta, while 1X, John Deere, OpenAI and Physical Intelligence are evaluating Jetson Thor to advance their physical AI capabilities.

Next-generation robotics platform

Powered by an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU and featuring 128GB of memory, Jetson Thor delivers up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute to effortlessly run the latest AI models — all within a 130-watt power envelope.


Compared with its predecessor, the NVIDIA Jetson Orin, Jetson Thor delivers up to 7.5x higher AI compute and 3.5x greater energy efficiency to run any generative AI model — from vision language action models like NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5 to popular large language and vision language models.

The new system-on-module solves one of the most significant challenges in robotics: running multi-AI workflows to enable robots to have real-time, intelligent interactions with people and the physical world. Jetson Thor unlocks real-time inference, critical for highly performant physical AI applications spanning humanoid robotics, agriculture and surgical assistance.

Global robotics leaders build on Jetson Thor

Jetson Thor is powered by the full-stack NVIDIA Jetson software platform, built for physical AI and humanoid robotics, which supports any popular AI framework and generative AI model. It is also fully compatible with NVIDIA’s software stack from cloud to edge, including NVIDIA Isaac for robotics simulation and development, Isaac GR00T humanoid robot foundation models, NVIDIA Metropolis for vision AI and NVIDIA Holoscan for real-time sensor processing.

Since its inception in 2014, the NVIDIA Jetson platform and NVIDIA’s robotics stack have attracted over 2 million developers and a growing ecosystem of 150+ hardware system, software and sensor partners, with Jetson Orin enabling over 7,000 customers to use edge AI across industries. Jetson Thor pushes the frontier further for visual AI agents and complex robotic systems such as humanoids and surgical robots.

World technology leaders in robotics are adopting Jetson Thor to power their next-generation robots.

Availability

The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor developer kit is available now starting at $3,499. Jetson T5000 production modules are available from worldwide distribution partners. Production systems and carrier boards can be purchased from embedded partners.
