NVIDIA is poised to accelerate the development of humanoid robots, with plans to release its dedicated "Jetson Thor" compact computers by the first half of 2025. This move is seen as a crucial step in the emerging "robotic AI" era.
The Rise of Robotics
The focus on automated robots, driven by advancements in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), is rapidly increasing. According to a report by the Financial Times, the coming year will see robotics take center stage, with the potential to significantly impact the market. NVIDIA's "Jetson Thor" lineup is expected to play a key role in this development.
NVIDIA recognizes humanoid robots as a significant growth area and is building a comprehensive ecosystem, combining hardware and software expertise. With the advent of generative AI and advanced model training in stimulated environments, such as with Project GR00T, the stage is set for rapid advancements in robotics.
NVIDIA's Robotics Ecosystem
NVIDIA offers expertise in model training and provides tools like Omniverse and the Isaac software stack, enabling the creation of virtual environments that allow real-time interaction with robotic devices. By adding "Jetson Thor," NVIDIA provides the necessary computing power for robotic applications, positioning itself as a leading firm in this rapidly growing industry.
The global robotics industry is projected to reach $165 billion by 2029, underscoring the crucial role this sector will play in the future growth of companies like NVIDIA.
