Nvidia is doubling down on robotics in 2025, with plans to release a new generation of compact computers designed for humanoid robots. The new platform, called Jetson Thor, will launch in the first half of this year.

 This movement is in line with the Nvidia's long -term strategy to provide robot innovation, not directly competing with producers such as Tesla. Nvidia aims to act as a basic partner for robot developer "hundreds of thousands" robot developers worldwide, as explained by the Vice President of Robotics at the Depp Tall of the Tall of Tokyo last month. 

The time of this initiative is facilitated by two main technological advances. First, the growth of generative AI models has opened new robotic features. Second, Tara said, advances in training robots in simulated environments have sped up the development process.

While Nvidia hasn’t explicitly addressed the issue, another factor behind its robotics technology is clear: Big customers like Amazon and Google are working to reduce their reliance on Nvidia’s AI chips by investing in their own custom hardware. Interestingly, Nvidia is also partnering with Tesla by providing technology for its humanoid robot, Optimus, reflecting its broader strategy of being a core provider of hardware solutions for AI-powered robotics development.
