Well, at first glance, this sounds like a name from a James Bond movie or perhaps a Nordic god?

Jetson Thor is an upcoming sustainable, compact computer designed to power humanoid robots. With the rise of robotics, industries are set to be disrupted. Take supply chain-intensive industries, for example: warehousing is a crucial part of the supply chain planning. Robotics can bring significant disruption, driving efficiency. Tasks like stocking, restocking and loading/unloading pallets can be handled by intelligent robots. Jetson Thor will power these devices, making them super effective and intelligent, with the ability to recognize objects in real time and navigate autonomously  – two key features in today’s AI driven world.

Imagine a robotic humanoid-powered retail industry. Consider a Big Bazaar or  Reliance Retail, which could leverage robots to stock, restock and inform distributors about shortages, empty aisle, and more. These humanoid bots powered by Jetson Thor will demonstrate speed, agility, computer vision, object recognition and a host of other AI features.

Smart Retail

With the Jetson Thor, we could evensee assisted fashion retailers. Shoppers could receive their size, SKU, and products delivered to their changing area, while the clothes they’ve tried on are neatly folded and restocked at a fraction of the current cost. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has frequently emphasized the transformative potential of robotics. According to Huang, robotics will play a central role in reshaping industries by automating tasks, improving efficiency, and addressing labor shortages.

Nvidia’s Jetson platform, already a leader in AI-powered robotics, will gain significant enhancements with the addition of Jetson Thor. The robotics industry is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, driven by advancements in AI, automation, and sensor technologies.
