FORT Robotics used Automate 2026 in Chicago to show an agentic safety application built on NVIDIA's open-source Halos Outside-In Safety Blueprint, extending its Trust Layer for physical AI beyond a robot's own onboard sensors.
The idea is to lean on infrastructure cameras and vision AI agents placed around a facility — running on NVIDIA IGX Thor and Holoscan Sensor Bridge — to give robots a wider, real-time picture of the floor, so they can keep moving at full speed in clear areas and only slow down where it's actually warranted.
For warehouse and plant operators, that targets a familiar cost: robots that grind to a crawl every time a sensor gets nervous. FORT is also part of NVIDIA's new Halos AI Systems Inspection Lab, the first ANAB-accredited lab built to certify functional safety and cybersecurity for autonomous systems.
