>The chipmaking giant Nvidia is leaning more heavily into robotics in 2025. More specifically, it’s launching a new generation of compact computers for humanoid robots, called Jetson Thor, in the [first half of the new year](https://www.ft.com/content/7c3dafa8-ffb9-4ca8-b677-ab3cc2afbdcb), confims the Financial Times.
>The move, which was expected, is part of an evolving, [years-long strategy](https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/07/how-nvidia-became-a-major-player-in-robotics/). Back in March, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang showed off a range of robots powered by Nvidia’s chips at the company’s annual conference. Nvidia doesn’t plan to compete directly with manufacturers like Tesla, but rather provide the “[hundreds of thousands](https://www.wsj.com/tech/nvidia-readies-jetson-thor-computers-for-humanoid-robots-in-2025-76cce094)” of robot makers in the world with a kind of underlying OEM, as its vice president of robotics, Deepu Talla, told reporters last month in Tokyo.
Why did everything have to go full dystopia at the exact same time?
Expect the robots coming to the market “next year” for the next 10 years.
