📰 Nvidia’s Jetson Thor: A New Era for Humanoid Robots in 2025
New compact AI systems set to be the "ChatGPT moment" for physical AI and humanoid robots.
In the first half of 2025, NVIDIA NVDA 0.00%↑ plans to launch its next-generation Jetson Thor systems, which could mark a turning point for robotics. These compact, powerful computers are designed to help create smarter, more capable humanoid robots. According to Deepu Talla, NVIDIA's Vice President of Robotics, the release of Jetson Thor could be the "ChatGPT moment" for physical AI—an event that transforms how robots are built and used.
For years, NVIDIA has been a leader in AI and GPU technology, powering everything from gaming to data centers. However, the company’s shift into robotics signals a new chapter. The key to this transition is the rapid growth of generative AI and the ability to train robots in virtual environments. These two breakthroughs are making it possible to create robots that can perform tasks in the real world without requiring as much manual programming or trial and error.
Talla explained that in just the past year, the technology has matured to the point where robots can now be trained in simulated environments using AI models—something that wasn’t feasible just a few years ago. This makes it easier for companies to experiment and develop robots with more practical, real-world capabilities.

The timing is significant, as other tech giants, like Tesla with its Optimus robot and ASUS with its humanoid robot, are also investing heavily in robotics. But NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor system stands out due to its ability to provide a solid platform for creating robots that can learn and adapt in ways that were previously difficult to achieve. Whether it’s manufacturing, healthcare, or logistics, robots powered by Jetson Thor could begin to take on more meaningful roles in everyday industries.
2025 could very well be remembered as the year humanoid robots stopped feeling like a distant dream and started becoming a reality. With its advanced technology, NVIDIA is poised to be a leader in this shift, helping push the boundaries of what robots can do and how they can interact with the world around them. As generative AI continues to evolve, Jetson Thor could be the key to a future where robots are smarter, more adaptable, and ready to take on new challenges.
