SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 27 (San Francisco News Online) — NVIDIA has introduced Halos for Robotics, a standardized safety architecture it says connects AI compute, system software, sensor data, safety applications and inspection for robots and other physical AI systems.
The company said the system is built around NVIDIA IGX Thor and Holoscan Sensor Bridge for compute and sensor connectivity, NVIDIA Halos OS for software safety functions, and the NVIDIA Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab for testing and certification preparation.
In its announcement, NVIDIA described Halos for Robotics as an industry-first, full-stack safety system for robotics and physical AI that unifies AI compute and safety. The company also said the platform draws on more than 18,600 engineering years of autonomous vehicle safety development.
NVIDIA said the Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab is the world’s first ANAB-accredited program for functional and AI safety for physical AI. The company said the lab is intended to help partners prepare for third-party certification from organizations including TÜV Rheinland, UL Solutions, TÜV SÜD, exida, SGS and CertX.
The announcement adds another safety-focused layer to NVIDIA’s robotics push as makers of humanoid and industrial robots look for systems that can combine AI performance with inspection and certification processes.
