NVIDIA Launches Halos for Robotics — Industry's First Full-Stack Physical AI Safety OS, Drawing on 18,600 AV Engineering Years, With Agility Robotics as First Adopter

NVIDIA unveiled Halos for Robotics on June 22, calling it the industry's first full-stack safety system for physical AI and drawing on an estimated 18,600 engineering years of autonomous-vehicle safety development. The three-layer architecture spans IGX Thor industrial-grade compute with Holoscan Sensor Bridge, a Halos OS software stack, and a new ANSI-accredited AI Systems Inspection Lab — the first globally recognized certification program for functional and AI safety in physical AI. Agility Robotics became the first adopter, integrating Halos Core into its Digit humanoid deployed at Amazon, GXO, Schaeffler, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada; an open-source Outside-In Safety Blueprint uses external cameras to dynamically influence robot behavior from outside the chassis and is available now on GitHub.
