Nvidia Corporation has released a new robotics module, the Jetson AGX Thor, priced at $3499. The company refers to the chip as a “robot brain.”
Unboxing Alert. 🚨
Robots just got a lot smarter thanks to #NVIDIAJetson Thor. 🧠
It’s the ultimate brain for physical AI agents and general robotics, accelerating their ability to reason in real time.

The Jetson AGX Thor is a training version designed for engineers to assemble and test an android prototype. Once ready, the company may order mass-produced Thor T5000 modules for industrial robots, priced at $2999 each for orders of 1000 units or more.
“We don’t build bots or machines. We provide the entire industry with our computing infrastructure and accompanying software,” said Deepu Talla, Nvidia’s Vice President of Robotics and Edge AI.
The Jetson Thor is based on the Blackwell GPU, the current generation of chips used in AI microchips.
Nvidia claims that the Jetson Thor is 7.5 times faster than the previous generation and features 128 GB of memory. This enables the running of generative AI models, including visual ones for interpreting the surrounding world, a critical function for humanoid robots.
Among the American chipmaker’s clients are Jetson Robotics, Amazon, Meta, and Boston Dynamics.
Nvidia is focusing on robotics for business development. In August, it introduced a set of AI models, libraries, and other infrastructure for android developers. A key product is Cosmos Reason, a visual-language model with 7 billion parameters and “reasoning” for physical AI applications and bots.
The company noted that Jetson Thor can also be used in autonomous vehicles, particularly Chinese brands.
Delivery for $3
Meanwhile, the startup Robomart unveiled a new autonomous delivery robot, the Robomart RM5. This fully autonomous Level 4 vehicle can carry up to 225 kg and is equipped with 10 separate compartments for storing customer goods. This design allows for batch orders, meaning one robot can handle multiple deliveries simultaneously.
Robomart plans to use the new robots for an on-demand transport business model. Retailers will open their own “storefronts” in the Robomart app, similar to UberEats or DoorDash.
The key difference is a fixed delivery fee of $3. The company hopes this will be an attractive option. Retailers in Austin, Texas, are expected to join in the coming months, with the delivery service launching by the end of the year.
“Our robots reduce delivery costs by up to 70%. This is a critically important difference. If you pay a driver $18 an hour, just their labor costs you $9–10 per delivery,” noted the company’s CEO, Ali Ahmed.
Back in 2026, the Chinese tech company Kaiwa Technology from Guangzhou plans to unveil a humanoid robot with an artificial womb in the abdominal area. It is designed to carry a fetus for the full 10 months of pregnancy and subsequent childbirth.
