Overview
- NVIDIA announced Halos for Robotics on Monday, June 22, 2026, calling it a full‑stack safety architecture that links hardware, software, sensors and inspection to ready robots for human workplaces.
- Halos combines IGX Thor industrial AI compute, the Holoscan Sensor Bridge, Halos OS/Core software and an open-source Outside‑In Safety Blueprint that uses external cameras and visual AI agents to extend robot perception.
- NVIDIA opened Halos Core and the Outside‑In blueprint in early access and launched an ANAB‑accredited Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab to help partners prepare for third‑party certification by bodies such as TÜV, UL and exida.
- Agility Robotics is the first announced integrator and will work to add IGX Thor and Halos Core to its Digit humanoid and to participate in the inspection lab, and FORT Robotics has joined the ecosystem and will demonstrate an Outside‑In safety application at the Automate conference in Chicago on June 23.
- NVIDIA says Halos draws on autonomous vehicle safety engineering to reduce conservative slowdowns from onboard-only systems, a shift that could raise throughput in warehouses and factories while making certification and real-world validation the near‑term focus for wider adoption.
