CAROLINE WOODS: NVIDIA is giving robots an upgrade.
The chipmaker just unveiled its newest robotics module – the Jetson AGX Thor. Nvidia’s calling it a “robot brain.”
The developer kit went on sale Monday for $3,499, with the first shipments heading out next month.
Companies can use the kit to design and test their robots before moving to mass production.
And once they’re ready for scale? Nvidia will sell production-grade Thor modules – called the T5000 – at $2,999 each if a company orders at least a thousand units.
Thor delivers seven and a half times more AI computing power than Nvidia’s last-gen Orin chip, while being three and a half times more energy efficient.
CEO Jensen Huang says robotics is the company’s biggest growth opportunity outside of artificial intelligence.
And AI has already been a goldmine – Nvidia’s overall sales have more than tripled in just the past two years.
