NVIDIA, known worldwide for driving breakthroughs in AI and high-performance computing, introduces the Jetson Thor Developer Kit as its most powerful platform for humanoid robotics and physical AI. The kit combines the NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with 128 GB memory to deliver up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS, all within a 130 W power envelope. Compared to Jetson AGX Orin, it achieves 7.5x more AI compute and 3.5x better energy efficiency.
With Jetson Thor, developers accelerate humanoid robotics through real-time sensor fusion, generative AI, and low-latency workloads. The kit integrates seamlessly with existing platforms, enabling faster prototyping and scalable solutions for advanced robotics.
NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit specifications:
The Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit includes the Jetson T5000 module, a reference carrier board, and a 140 W power supply. The T5000 features a 14-core Arm Neoverse-V3AE CPU, a 2,560-core Blackwell GPU with 96 Tensor Cores, and 128 GB LPDDR5X memory (273 GB/s). Storage comes via a 1 TB NVMe drive in an M.2 slot.
The carrier board offers a QSFP28 slot (4×25 GbE), 5 GbE RJ45, USB-A 3.2, USB-C 3.1, HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a, and dual CAN headers. It also provides multiple PCIe Gen5 slots, camera interfaces, automation headers, and audio support. Power consumption ranges between 40 W and 130 W.
NVIDIA Jetson Thor runs the full NVIDIA AI software stack. Developers use Isaac for robotics, Metropolis for computer vision, and Holoscan for real-time sensor processing. It supports generative AI models such as NVIDIA Isaac GR00T for Vision Language Action, along with LLMs and VLMs. With agentic AI workflows like Video Search and Summarization, teams build advanced AI agents directly at the edge.
The kit is available for pre-order starting at $3,499 through Seeed Studio, Arrow, and RS Online. According to RS Online, only backorders are open, with availability expected on November 20, 2025. Each package includes the NVIDIA Jetson T5000 module with heat sink, a reference carrier board, a 140W power supply, a Wi-Fi 6E module, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a Quick Start Guide.
