Nvidia introduces Halos for Robotics to bridge the physical AI safety gap
Nivida Corp. today announced Halos for Robotics, the industry’s first full framework for robotic safety systems that encompasses building, testing and managing complete artificial intelligence robotics applications.
Automation has been part of industrial and manufacturing environments for decades, but for much of that time, robots have operated within rigid rules, rails and repeatable workflows. That is beginning to change as more intelligent systems emerge that can move through dynamic spaces, make decisions and work more directly alongside humans.
The promise is a new class of robotic teammate that can take on more complex work with greater autonomy. But the challenge is that the closer these systems get to people, the higher the safety bar becomes. That leaves companies with a central question: How do they scale intelligent robotics without putting human workers at greater risk?
Agility Robotics Inc., a leading humanoid robotics and physical AI company, became the first to use Nvidia Halos to build safety into its robots working in factories and warehouses for customers including Amazon.com Inc., GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada.
