How is NVIDIA extending a proven safety stack from AVs to robotics?
NVIDIA has a deep and long-standing investment in functional safety. The company has accumulated over 18,000 engineering years on vehicle safety, assessed more than 21 billion safety transistors, and produced over 7 million lines of safety-assessed code. More than 22,000 platform safety monitors have been developed, 330+ research papers on AV safety published, and 30+ certificates and assessment reports issued. This body of work was built for AVs, one of the most demanding safety domains in engineering. The key insight behind Halos OS is that this proven foundation doesn’t need to be rebuilt f
NVIDIA IGX Thor is an enterprise-ready platform for physical AI. It offers server‑class AI performance together with industrial-grade hardware, advanced functional safety capabilities, extended lifecycle support, and an enterprise software stack in configurations suitable for industrial and medical environments. IGX Thor extends this compute and safety foundation to edge systems where uptime, reliability, and standards compliance are central to system design. With the IGX Thor platform, developers can build mission-critical edge computers that operate reliably in harsh physical conditions, int
