Overview
- Nvidia announced Halos for Robotics on Monday as a unified safety stack that brings together industrial AI compute (IGX Thor), the Holoscan sensor bridge, Halos OS and Halos Core safety functions to help robots operate near people.
- The company published the open-source Outside‑In Safety Blueprint and opened Halos Core in early access so developers and system builders can begin integrating external infrastructure cameras and AI agents that extend perception beyond onboard sensors.
- Nvidia also presented the Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab as ANAB‑accredited and said it will work with third‑party certification bodies such as TÜV Rheinland, TÜV SÜD, UL Solutions, exida, SGS and CertX to ready integrations for formal safety certification.
- Agility is the first announced adopter and will integrate IGX Thor and Halos Core into its Digit humanoid, while FORT Robotics joined the ecosystem and will demonstrate an Outside‑In, agentic safety application at Automate in Chicago.
- The move builds on Nvidia's autonomous-vehicle safety experience and signals a broader industry push to standardize how sensing, compute, software and inspection are combined before humanoid and autonomous robots move into mixed human workspaces.
