gr00t-n1-5-deploy-thor

gr00t-n1-5-deploy-thor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,082 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for adapting NVIDIA's GR00T N1.5 robot model to control a LeRobot SO-101 arm and run it on a Jetson AGX Thor computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to flash Thor, prepare the development environment, collect SO-101 training data, train the model with NVIDIA Brev, and run inference on Thor. It requires the listed Jetson, robot arm, cameras, and other hardware.
Why use it?
It organizes the hardware setup, robot data collection, cloud training, and on-device testing needed to create a working robot-control system.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

gr00t-n1-5-deploy-thor scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Fine-tune GR00T N1.5 for LeRobot SO-101 Arm and Deploy on Jetson Thor


Execution model

Run one phase at a time. After each phase:

  • Relay all command output to the user.
  • If output contains [STOP] → stop immediately, consult the failure decision tree below.
  • If output ends with [OK] → tell the user "Phase N complete" and proceed to the next phase.

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Hardware NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit
Robot arm LeRobot SO-101 (leader + follower)
Cameras 2× USB cameras (wrist + front)
Flashing USB drive ≥16GB, monitor, DP/HDMI cable, 240W+ power, USB keyboard
Cloud training GPU with ≥25GB VRAM (Ampere or newer — V100 not supported)
System image Thor v38.2 (latest as of Sept 2025)

Phase 1 — Flash Thor system image (~20 min)

Download the ISO image from https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack/downloads (select Thor 38.2).

Create bootable USB with Balena Etcher (https://etcher.balena.io/):

  1. Select the ISO image
  2. Select the USB drive as target
  3. Click Flash and wait for completion

Insert USB, keyboard, display cable, and power into Thor. Boot and select:

  • Boot Manager → select USB drive → EscContinue
  • Jetson Thor optionsFlash Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit on NVMe

Wait ~15 minutes for flashing, then wait for Update Progress to reach 100%.

[OK] when Ubuntu 24.04 initial setup screen appears. [STOP] if screen goes black — see FAQ in source.


Phase 2 — Install development dependencies (~10–20 min)

Install JetPack SDK:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

Install additional tools:

sudo apt install firefox python3 python3-pip
sudo pip3 install -U pip
sudo pip3 install jetson-stats

Install Miniconda:

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-aarch64.sh
chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-aarch64.sh
./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-aarch64.sh

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

It adds 87 tokens to every session and 2,082 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
