About NVIDIA
United States · chip designer
Fabless designer of the Jetson robot modules (Nano to Thor), the IGX industrial platform and the DRIVE car computers (PX 2 to Thor). It is the most common compute supplier in the atlas, and its Orin and Thor parts sit in most current humanoids and many robotaxis.
