NVIDIA is set to accelerate its development of humanoid robots in the next year, as Team Green is preparing to release dedicated compact computers under the "Jetson Thor" series.
NVIDIA Is Prepared To Capitalize On The "Humanoid Robotics" Hype As The Industry Is Expected To Grow Up To $195 Billion By 2029
When we talk about how AI is going to evolve from hereon, the one discussion in everyone's mind is automated robots, primarily since AGI has taken over the industry. Now, in a report by the Financial Times, it seems like the upcoming year will likely mark the next phase of the AI hype, where robotics will play a huge role in driving the markets further on. Team Green is rumored to introduce their next-gen "Jetson Thor" computing lineup in the first half of 2025, likely acting as a catalyst in the development 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.
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.

It is said that NVIDIA has already recognized humanoid robots as the next big thing in the markets, which is why the company is building an ecosystem around the segment, offering software and hardware expertise. With the advent of genAI, coupled with how model training has now evolved to be done in stimulated environments, such as with Project GR00T, it has created the perfect setup for robotic advancement, which is why companies assign revenue to grasp the hype.
In terms of what NVIDIA offers to the robotics industry, it has immense expertise in model training, and with assets such as Omniverse and the Isacc software stack, the company can replicate virtual environments to allow real-time interaction with robotic devices. Now, with the necessary computing power onboard courtesy of "Jetson Thor," Team Green has filled out all pieces of the puzzle, which makes it one of the leading firms to capitalize on the "robotics" hype.
The global robotics industry is expected to grow to a whopping $165 billion by the end of 2029, which is why it will play a massive role in how companies like NVIDIA evolve moving into the future.
