NVIDIA is preparing to launch "Jetson Thor" computers in 2025, a move poised to reshape the "robotic AI" industry. Positioned for the $165B market, this innovation could define the future of humanoid robotics.
Robotics Poised to Propel AI Excitement in 2025
According to a study in the Financial Times, the focus of artificial intelligence (AI) excitement will shift to robots in the coming year, with the markets being propelled even further by this technological advancement.
It is widely believed that the introduction of NVIDIA's next-generation "Jetson Thor" computing lineup in the first half of 2025 would serve as a driving force behind the advancement of humanoid robots.
NVIDIA is betting on robotics as its next big growth driver, as the world’s most valuable semiconductor company faces increasing competition in its core artificial intelligence chipmaking business.
NVIDIA's Jetson Thor Positioned for 2025 Release
The US tech group, best known for the infrastructure that has underpinned the AI boom, is set to launch its latest generation of compact computers for humanoid robots — dubbed Jetson Thor — in the first half of 2025.
An ecosystem surrounding the segment, supplying software and hardware expertise, is being built by NVIDIA, which reportedly has already identified humanoid robots as the next big thing in the markets.
Humanoid Robots and Model Training in Virtual Environments
Companies are allocating funds to get on the robotics development bandwagon because of the convergence of genAI and the shift toward model training in stimulated environments (e.g., Project GR00T), WCCFTECH shares.
The robotics industry can benefit from NVIDIA's model training experience, and the company's assets, such as the Isacc software stack and Omniverse, enable it to recreate virtual environments for real-time interaction with robotic equipment.
With "Jetson Thor" providing the onboard computer power, NVIDIA has completed the jigsaw and is now one of the main corporations capitalizing on the "robotics" hype.
The future of companies like NVIDIA is heavily influenced by the global robotics market, which is projected to reach an impressive $165 billion by 2029.
