NVIDIA launched Halos for Robotics, a full-stack safety system that combines AI compute, software, sensors, and safety features into one unified architecture for building autonomous robots. The system addresses the need for comprehensive safety as robots increasingly operate alongside humans in factories, warehouses, and logistics environments where dynamic conditions require multiple layers of protection. Halos draws on over 18,600 engineering years of autonomous vehicle safety development and includes hardware components, operating system software, safety applications, and connections to certification bodies that validate the system meets established safety standards. Agility Robotics is the first company using Halos to build safety into its humanoid robots deployed with customers in industrial operations.
