The American technology company Nvidia, developer of the most popular chips for AI, said that in the first half of 2025 it will launch the latest generation of compact computers, Jetson Thor, for humanoid robots, a comprehensive solution with various components from individual chips to Complete training and control software for robots.

According to Nvidia’s vice president of robotics, Deep Talla, a revolution in the field of artificial intelligence and the arrival of “physical AI” is just around the corner, as he told the Financial Times. And at this “inflection point” of the market, the company wants to be among the leaders.
While digital giants such as Amazon, Microsoft and Google strive to reduce their dependence on Nvidia (opting for AMD, for example), the chip production leader is looking for new directions for its development. And robotics is one of the keys, although it has not yet been separated into a separate division within the corporation.
Nvidia, whose value has exceeded $3 trillion, positions itself as an investor in the field of “physical AI”: in February, together with Microsoft and OpenAI, it invested in a startup for the production of humanoid robots Figure AI, valuing it at 2.6 dollars. billion.
Talla believes that the biggest obstacle to the development of AI-powered humanoid robots has already been overcome: thanks to large language models, robots can be trained in simulated environments, solving the problem of “the gap between simulation and reality.”
“Over the last 12 months… [этот пробел] “It’s been addressed enough that we can do experiments with simulation combined with generative AI, something we couldn’t do two years ago,” Talla says. “We offer a platform that allows all of these companies to do any of these things.”
Nvidia offers tools for three phases of robotics development: basic model training software that comes with Nvidia’s “DGX” system; modeling of real conditions on the Omniverse platform; as well as hardware for the “brain” of the robot.
According to the US research agency BCC, the global robotics market is currently valued at approximately $78 billion and is projected to reach $165 billion by the end of 2029.
Amazon has already implemented Nvidia’s robotics simulation technology in three of its US warehouses, and Toyota and Boston Dynamics are among other customers using Nvidia’s training software.
