Nvidia Corp. is expanding its focus to the robotics sector, planning to launch a new generation of compact computers for humanoid robots, named Jetson Thor, in the first half of 2025. This move is part of Nvidia's strategy to drive future growth amid increasing competition in its core artificial intelligence chipmaking business. The company aims to position itself as a key player in the anticipated robotics revolution, offering a full-stack solution that includes software for training AI-powered robots and the chips that power them. Nvidia's Vice President of Robotics, Deepu Talla, highlighted the imminent 'ChatGPT moment for physical AI and robotics,' suggesting that the market is at a tipping point. This push into robotics comes as Nvidia faces competition from rivals like AMD and cloud computing giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, who are developing their own AI chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia.
