Softbank's CEO has two, personal, areas of interest he is willing to bet a lot on: IoT and robotics. NVidia is a very competent hardware manufacturer and is investing a lot in deep learning.

Softbank has telephony networks and robots manufacture. It does make some sense.

Aren't their fabs outsourced to TSMC?

Yes, they design hardware, not sure I would call them a manufacturer.
