Nvidia's 'Robot Brain' comes at £ 2.9 Lakh: Your next taxi, doctor or factory worker can run on this brain
Nvidia has just shown its ‘robotic brain’. No, that’s not what you think it is. The Jetson Thor T5000 is not a scientific fantasy or a futuristic toy. It is a high-powered slide designed to learn robots faster, respond smarter and fit right into everything, from automatic warehouses to self-driving cars and even hospital operations. At $ 3,499 (about £ 2,90,000), the developer set for Jetson Thor T5000 is officially available to anyone who is serious about building the next generation machines. For larger buyers, Nvidia offers a large amount of $ 2.999 per unit (near £ 2,48,000) if you order 1,000 or more. It goes beyond speed; It’s about the real world intelligence. Developers and manufacturers can now be robotic prototype and scale that think on their feet and process large amounts of data in real time. A new era for smarter robots? The Jetson Thor T5000 is powered by the latest Blackwell processor of Nvidia, which is a dramatic leap over its predecessor, the Jetson Orin. The new slide is 7.5 times faster and packs 128 GB of memory, leaving machines heavy AI models, including language and vision processing, driving without missing a partner. Robots can understand the world around them, communicate and adapt to new challenges on the spot. Companies like Amazon Robotics and Boston Dynamics have already started integrating Thor, and use it for everything from Nimble Humanoid bots in warehouses to advanced logistics arms sorting with speed and precision. It’s not just about brute force. Agriculture, medical devices and field robotics can also earn, now that robots can map fields, help with surgery or work in hard environments with human awareness. Nvidia does not limit Thor’s reach to warehouse floors. The company merged its robotics and car divisions, acknowledging that the same technical advanced robots are also central to self-managing vehicles. In May, the joint sales of NVIDIA for these segments achieved $ 567m (nearly £ 4.690 crore), which is a 72% jump compared to last year. Car manufacturers are now looking at Jetson Thor technology to process the flooding of information from sensors and cameras into vehicles. It can be a warehouse bot, a connected tractor or an autonomous taxi; The chip gives machines the ability to interpret the environment, make decisions and predict what comes next. All this happens directly in the device, reducing the dependence on external data centers and improving the response times on the ground. Insiders in the industry say although robotics still form only 1% of Nvidia’s total turnover, the growth trend is too large to ignore. As these slides become more widespread, expect to see ‘robotic brains’ factories, farms, hospitals and highways in ways that once belonged to science fiction.
