Nvidia is extending its Halos safety architecture from autonomous vehicles to humanoid and industrial robots, placing safety and certification at the center of its push to bring physical AI into factories, warehouses and logistics facilities.

The company announced Halos for Robotics on June 22. The platform combines Nvidia’s IGX Thor computing system, Holoscan Sensor Bridge for sensor connectivity, Halos OS software and an inspection program intended to support third-party certification.

Agility Robotics is the first named humanoid partner. The company is integrating IGX Thor and Halos Core into the safe human-detection system for Digit, its humanoid robot. Agility also plans to use Nvidia’s Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab to assess Digit’s safety-related software, artificial-intelligence components and cybersecurity protections before final third-party certification.

The move broadens a safety framework Nvidia introduced for autonomous vehicles in March 2025. Its robotics architecture is designed for machines that must interpret changing environments and operate near workers, rather than remain isolated behind fixed barriers.

Halos draws on more than 18,600 engineering years of autonomous-vehicle safety work. The platform’s Outside-In Safety Blueprint uses external facility cameras and AI agents to provide additional perception and dynamically influence robot behavior.

Certification could become an important competitive factor as robot makers prepare to deploy machines in shared industrial spaces. The Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab is accredited under ISO/IEC 17020 by the ANSI National Accreditation Board, and certification bodies including TÜV Rheinland, TÜV SÜD and UL Solutions recognize its reports as part of their processes.

The commercial opportunity is still developing. Nvidia’s announcement does not show that Halos-powered robots have reached broad production deployment. It identifies Amazon, GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada among customers connected to Agility’s industrial work, without providing deployment volumes or operating dates.

For Nvidia, the strategy links the growth of physical AI to its broader computing platform. If robot manufacturers adopt its safety software and inspection processes, they may also use Nvidia hardware, sensors and development tools as they move from prototypes to industrial deployments.
