NVIDIA has announced the general availability of its Jetson AGX Thor developer kit and production modules, designed to deliver 2K teraflops of AI compute power for robotics and physical AI applications. Targeting robots that operate in unstructured environments and interact safely with humans, Jetson Thor offers high performance and energy efficiency, enabling the running of multiple generative AI models at the edge. NVIDIA positions Thor as a supercomputer for advancing physical AI and general robotics, with several leading robotics and industrial technology companies already integrating the platform. Notably, Agility Robotics plans to use Jetson Thor as the compute backbone for its Digit humanoid robot, enabling more advanced manipulation, scene understanding, and faster reaction times in complex tasks like logistics and shelf stocking. Boston Dynamics is also incorporating Thor into its Atlas humanoid robot for onboard AI acceleration and data handling. Other major users include Amazon Robotics, Caterpillar, Figure, Medtronic, and Meta, with John Deere and OpenAI currently evaluating the platform
