Humanoid robots are inching closer to being more human-like, and Nvidia is taking a huge leap towards making that a reality. The tech giant has announced Jetson Thor, a new generation of supercomputer meant to provide real-time AI processing for humanoid robots and high-end intelligent machines.
With this new robot brain, expect that future robots will be more efficient, especially in decision-making.
Nvidia's latest Jetson Thor module is designed to handle enormous amounts of data while using less power than its legacy counterpart, Jetson Orin. Driven by advanced Blackwell GPUs, the module provides more than seven times the AI compute performance, twice the memory, and over three times the speed and efficiency.
This capability jump enables humanoid robots to handle sensor data, enhance visual reasoning, and engage with individuals and their environments in real time. According to Nvidia, Jetson Thor solves "one of the most important challenges in robotics: bringing robots to life so they can have real-time, smart interactions with people and the physical world."
