UK robotics company Humanoid is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance the computing architecture of its next-generation robots. The recent announcement on October 21 reveals that the transition to Jetson Thor has enabled Humanoid to consolidate two onboard computers into a single system while preserving computing capacity.
This development is significant as it allows Humanoid to run more sophisticated AI directly onboard its robots, facilitating real-time processing of their surroundings. The integration of Jetson Thor's shared CPU and GPU memory is designed to minimize unnecessary data movement and latency, thereby improving the efficiency of data transfer between sensors, models, and control systems.
Looking ahead, Humanoid aims to leverage these advancements to further enhance the responsiveness of its robots. However, the announcement did not provide specific metrics regarding end-to-end latency, power savings, or task success rates, leaving some performance details undisclosed at this time.
