NVIDIA has announced the general availability of its Jetson AGX Thor developer kit and production modules, positioning them as the company’s most advanced robotics computers to date. Built to handle generative AI workloads at the edge, Jetson Thor is aimed at powering next-generation robots across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, and retail.
Powered by an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU and equipped with 128GB of memory, Jetson Thor delivers up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute within a 130-watt power envelope. This represents a 7.5x jump in performance and 3.5x greater efficiency compared with its predecessor, Jetson Orin.
The system is capable of running multiple AI models simultaneously, including vision-language-action models like NVIDIA Isaac GR00T N1.5, making it suitable for applications ranging from humanoid robotics to autonomous agricultural machinery and surgical assistance.
Adoption is already underway among major robotics players. Agility Robotics, Amazon Robotics, Boston Dynamics, Caterpillar, Figure, Hexagon, Medtronic and Meta are among the first to integrate Jetson Thor, while John Deere, OpenAI, 1X and Physical Intelligence are evaluating its potential.
Executives from Figure, Amazon Robotics and Caterpillar pointed to the platform’s role in enabling real-time perception, autonomy in logistics and advanced edge computing for heavy equipment.
Lastly, Jetson Thor is supported by the full-stack NVIDIA Jetson software ecosystem right out of the box, compatible with popular AI frameworks as well as NVIDIA’s own platforms such as Isaac for robotics development, Metropolis for vision AI and Holoscan for sensor processing.
Price and Availability
The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor developer kit is available now starting at $3,499. Jetson T5000 production modules can be purchased through global distribution partners, with production systems and carrier boards offered by embedded partners.
