NVIDIA has launched Halos for Robotics, the industry's first full-stack safety system designed to secure physical AI and autonomous machines working alongside humans. Drawing on over 18,600 engineering years of autonomous vehicle safety, the platform unifies industrial-grade hardware like the IGX Thor computer with Halos OS software and the open-source Outside-In Safety Blueprint. Agility Robotics is the first partner to integrate the system into its Digit humanoid robots for customers like Amazon and Toyota, supported by an ANSI-accredited AI Systems Inspection Lab.
NVIDIA Halos Robotics launch
- ▪Agility Robotics is the first company to integrate NVIDIA Halos for Robotics into its Digit humanoid robots working in factories and warehouses
- ▪NVIDIA Halos for Robotics unifies AI computing, system software, sensor data, safety applications, and inspection into a standardized safety architecture
IGX Thor platform safety
- ▪NVIDIA IGX Thor and the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge provide industrial-grade AI computing, built-in safety, and real-time sensor connectivity
- ▪NVIDIA IGX Thor features a dedicated Functional Safety Island capable of IEC 61508 SIL 3, physically isolated from the main compute domain
Autonomous vehicle safety heritage
- ▪NVIDIA Halos for Robotics draws on more than 18,600 engineering years of autonomous vehicle safety development
Halos OS software stack
- ▪NVIDIA Halos Core is available in early access for registered developers in Linux and Linux plus QNX OS for Safety 8.0 configurations
Outside-In Safety Blueprint
- ▪The Outside-In Safety Blueprint includes a Safety AI Monitor that flags out-of-distribution inputs, camera blockages, or image anomalies to trigger safe fallback states
Industry ecosystem partnerships
- ▪More than 40 companies, including software, sensor, silicon, and certification partners, are participating in the NVIDIA Halos for Robotics ecosystem
